Companies are dying dinosaurs, money makes no sense anymore, people will exchange assets. It’ll be like once before, all built on technology.
And in this blog post I’ll tell you why and how.
Why do we need Facebook and Twitter? They lock us into their world of constraints and ads. But we don’t need to follow. We don’t need to comply to constraints. Any known social network can be replaced by a peer 2 peer network. An extensible, durable and robust piece of plug-in infrastructure just built on open source code and by developers who care about improving the status quo. It’ll be server-less and spread by using on one basic distribution algorithm, that is, by TRUST. This is the next step, and everyone who sees it, fears it. The works of the plebs. An additional layer of virtualization that isn’t anymore company or hardware bound.
The devices that you already own can build the next Internet. Servers will degrade to just stupid data routers, eventually completely replaced by wireless transmission networks.
Disruptive technology often starts by the seemingly powerless but just-a-little smarter components. This time it’s your notebook, your smart phone and your android based TV. You thought you need a million Google servers to find information and to store your mails and send them out to your buddies, … hell not anymore, they tricked you to sell ads!
The Internet just works without constraints as long we care. Don’t give it up. Go against Censorship. Governments – the organizations that solely purpose is to protect physical borders and ensure resource availability – are powerless in the virtual domain. There are no borders anymore. You already can talk to all the people around the world if you wanted to, you just need to realize the potential in that fact.
Why do we need actual money? Probably we don’t. It’s already virtually represented by numbers in databases, remember? Controlled by banks and governments and infected by interest rates that makes your labor earned values inevitably flowing upwards the establishment pyramid (just remember that as long you don’t own _a lot_ of usable land, you are at the bottom of that pyramid, and even if you have a lot of digits in your bank account, don’t miss the fact that all land is already owned…).
Please, start to recognize that anything of virtual value that gains enough trust is capable to replace the established system. We just need to collaborate, so that interest is not built in and value is just time and context relative, thus bringing more insecurity and a lot of change but so leading to a new awareness to build a new kind of trust network.
Gaming and virtual reality platforms already have their own concept of money. In some, virtual currencies can already be converted back to reality: a government approved form of currency for food and safe housing.
But probably I am just out of my mind. Probably, Singularity will never happen and people want to live in a well constrained world just made for them to feel comfortable being enslaved by money.
