I really enjoyed this distinction between debt and savings based economies: debt based economies are necessarily more centralized because debt requires permission. Ironically for people denouncing Bitcoin, centralized systems end up with a pyramid shaped hierarchy where resources flow from the base to the top forever else the system collapses.

Also feeling the VC critical aspects of this in my pursuits of capital for SN. As a shy programmer type with a newborn network, fundraising is work that's taking me away from working on product. We're hoping to solve some of this with Pleb Lab eventually.
