Not only that. Warner Music and Sony Music CEOs too?
My nephew just turned 16. It’s crazy how time flies. I gifted him a book called ‘The War of Art’ by Steven Pressfield. One I’ve grown to love over the years since firsts being told about it. It’s a quick read, and I highly recommend it. Here is one of my favorite quotes,
“We fear discovering that we are more than we think we are. More than our parents/children/teachers think we are. We fear that we actually possess the talent that our still, small voice tells us. That we actually have the guts, the perseverance, the capacity. We fear that we truly can steer our ship, plant our flag, reach our Promised Land. We fear this because, if it’s true, then we become estranged from all we know. We pass through a membrane. We become monsters and monstrous.”
This is kind of where I end up for most use cases. These are kind of some I’ve assembled so far:
-
Internal Private Relay; for internal team communication and collaboration. Something like Notion, Monday, or JIRA.
-
Public Relay; for Release Notes. Crowdfunding ideas or small contracts. Like software forums with feature voting or bug bounties.
-
Paid-Only Relays; for magazines and blogs, tiered memberships, events. An example here might be an AirBnB hosting a private relay on its WiFi with house instructions, local info, transportation tips and fare.
-
A wilder idea here; but say a customer uses a product based relay (let’s use cars as an example). Someone could almost provide their personal data from a vehicles computer; how far they drive, how often they maintenance, maintenance instructions, etc. Either privately with the company, or publicly as a product review. Another analogy might be sharing your data with a software company for performance monitoring and bug enhancements etc - private relays could both report data and collect a kick-back for the data one provides.
So... is Zion a Matrix layer 2? What about Io? Is it another simulation - or is it reality? This was always the classic debate for my group.
No, I think you're in tune with my original thought here. Copyright is a great example. I noticed this potential via NFT marketplaces and the model that always credits the creator. I've been thinking about this in regards to Nostr and relays, comparable to BTC and nodes/channels. Sparking interesting thoughts here @davidw thanks for the reply!
I see hyperbitcoinization as a very personally sovereign society. Individuals easily manage networks and protocols that form and shape their own digital experience. It's tough to imagine how this occurs, but I imagine that everybody will run some sort of validating node-like entities. Individuals will be directly credited for the value of work contributed. Hidden algorithms that quietly run the background of our lives will be brought to the surface and turned into more utility-like models. It's almost like the possibilities fade into an opaque blur that we have yet to materialize, but we all know the potential for a revolutionary change in digital mediums is upon us. Just how far does it go?
