Career advice: if you’re not in a bubble, find one.
In 1970 that was personal computers.
In 1990 that was the internet.
In 2010 that was the iPhone.

In 2020...
In 2030... Decentralization.

Decentralization of governments:
- Everyone WFH: can’t coup without a Capitol, politicians stay with their constituents
- much easier to run for office
- voting boundaries created w/ open source code
Decentralization of companies:
- no “HQ”, more antifragile
- much smaller “core” staff, many more contractors
- pseudonymous identities for work
Decentralization of education:
- everyone can learn from anyone else
- everyone is learning from the best
- billionaire teachers
Decentralization of trust/verification:
- Companies and governments make decisions based on consulting many data sources
- Legal decisions go on-chain, networks replace judges
- Laws are written in JavaScript not English; Congress goes from mostly lawyers to mostly coders
Decentralization of currencies:
- no market manipulation
- no printing money
- only way to make money is for others to voluntarily give it to you
- real-time tax collection per transaction instead of once a year, based on present jurisdiction of buyer/seller
- markets open 24/7
And if it’s not decentralization, it is something else related to software. That’s the defining invention of this century, maybe millennia.
