Long story short, My understanding is that it is the idea that web apps would no longer charge for their services directly, but would generate revenue for their decentralized society of which they own a percentage of. Like a farmers co-op. The implications of this have created many new tools and libraries. But hey, take my words with a grain of salt, I am the guy lookin for others to chat with about the subject cause I’ve been in my cave for the past few years, I don’t really know what it means to other folks yet.
I don't think anyone will argue with the idea that working hard should and by nature results in good rewards. but what about the idea that one person putting in 500lbs of innovation generates less than a tenth of another's same force?
what if the outcry against inequality refers to the capacity to join the upper echelon and the requirement of other 1%'ers to groom and select future 1%'ers, not it's elimination?
not to mention the people who affect the largest change are folks in the 1% club
One culture or group thought should not keep other cultures from affecting the world.
IE the rich white guy you hear about that has it so easy when compared to someone of lesser means.
They aren't referring to the color of their skin.
They are referring to the family ties, the unfair education, the modeling of the 1% clubs culture, which opens an incredible amount of doors by itself.
It is not that we are upset with some people having more money than others, it's that some people have unfair tools and advantages to get wealth, and that wealth directly translates into influence and power. Thus, where you are born, what culture you grew up with, where you went to school, have profound affects on how others treat you, the influence you have on this world, and your ability to create true change.
I'm not saying this is something new, but just as civil rights have been huge issues in the past, the current issue, an new issue to tackle, to advance our society and understanding is inequality of ability to amass power/money/influence.
IE at one pole we might find that incumbents to money are no more likely to generate additional money than those without money, at the other, the only way to generate wealth is to have wealth.
It's a fascinating issue, you know where I am if you want to nerd out about it.
