Better as in better money[1], nothing else. If you are talking about income inequality, it cannot be fixed with money as it is just a tool. If our economic system is based on hoarding capital, then you end up hoarding it. If the best and sa

This or any similar project should run on IPFS. How is this an open community driven if it's dependent on a single private centralized entity ? What happens if they disappear ? The amount of public effort made should stay public with n

What magic are you talking of when you know data is the most precious element to do anything meaningful and it's hoarded through a handful of megacorps. Why don't we hear of any small teams "outisde" the mega corps doing

1- Bitcoin is not stock so comparing with stock has no weight in your argument 2- It has already been on a very long bear market (2013-2015) where everyone said pretty much the same thing (fad, tulip, the experiment failed .... ). So yeah

And how do I verify that the money printed is not more than the increase in productivity ? Effectively stealing from my productivity through price inflation ?

Tell me how is this objectively different than VCs ? Other than it's now available to everyone instead reserved to the elite ? In both cases, you are well aware most of your investments will fail and you're expecting one 10x or 10
