I'm here for posts that point out harsh realities and tradeoffs. Glad you wrote it.

I harp pretty regularly on the idea that the ultimate "solution" to this issue will be a host of institutions that span various positions of sovereignty -- in other words, that incorporate varying amounts of trust distributed across various parties in various ways, that interact with each other, and that provide a range of affordances that require varying levels of sophistication. Perhaps this will be a place where some of this gets elaborated.

I am still not aware of such a writeup, one that puts the pieces in context, and imagines how it is working (for the elements that are built) and could work (incorporating sketches of elements that are not yet built, or that are only imagined.) Can anyone suggest anything that sort of fills this gap?
