May be an unpopular opinion? Crypto-economics (and more generally capitalism) alone can solve only a limited set of mostly boring problems. We need some degree of social trust and community dynamics to solve the more interesting and pressing ones.

Prediction: In the future most utility tokens will be stablecoins. Biggest price-stable protocol tokens will be preferable to general stablecoins because their stability will be backed by the utility of the protocol.

Good summary of issues faced by TCR designs — generally these kinds of mechanisms don't work 'out of the box' and are context-dependent. They require extra consideration of external incentives, and integrations with social structure, identity, reputation, etc.

In cryptocurrency, objective truth can barely get a word in edgewise over incentivized, rabid mobs of bagholders. I am incredibly skeptical of the ability of any token-based market to accurately value objectivity, especially when controversial.

Very much the expected outcome - economic incentives should be decoupled from curation. Plutocracy is not a great trad-off for sibyl resistance. Personalized page-rank type reputation system is a much better option in this case. @relevantfeed

This is a direct consequence of clickbait-based popularity metrics of social media and it will only get worse. The solution is simple: implement a metric that measures trust and value. The hard part is the business model and existing platforms won’t solve that one.

The paradox of our meme based culture now is if you end up getting viral you end up incentivized to hit that same theme over and over again. You could build a huge following just saying a dozen unique concepts over and over again.

Here’s another (perhaps already in use) model for ranking within social networks. Suppose we applied a Pagerank/Hive.one style model to individual accounts. An upvote from a highly upvoted account would count more than an upvote from an account with no history. Like backlinks.
