I suspect SAFEcoin will win the day as ‘quality money’. Unlike all the other coins (of which I am aware), SAFEcoin doesn’t violate Mises ‘regression theorem’ – it has innate value from the beginning as it can be used to purchase network resources. Also the SAFEnet will allow any with even the smallest of resources to earn some amount of SAFEcoin – meaning a much more distributed economy than bitcoin.
IMO, Warren, I think you conflate capitalism with mercantilism/corporatism/fascism. Without some State/tribal/oligarchical coercion system, individualism/capitalism is the default - people individually choose to either save and invest in their dreams - horizontal, decentralized, individualism i.e. basic capitalism - read Webster’s if you are confused about the definition; OR they choose to create a State/tribal/oligarchical coercion system.
As there has almost always been a State/tribal/oligarchical coercion system throughout history, we haven’t had pure capitalism, we’ve only had capitalism mixed with a State/tribal/oligarchical coercion system … which creates → mercantilism/corporatism/fascism - wherein wealthy interests infiltrate the coercion system and drive it to point guns at those who are competing with those wealthy interests.
The problem has been that choosing to create a State/tribal/oligarchical coercion system is an option that exists so long as it’s possible to rob people at gunpoint - so long as people who SAVE money do not have strong anonymity AND a system of ‘quality money’ that can’t be counterfeited/inflated.
So, IMO, what form of human organization mirrors the structure of SAFE? Pure capitalism and hopefully we will finally reach it. Although we still have the problems of centralized production and distribution - which makes anonymity very hard for the producer. Perhaps as technology continues to evolve in terms of cnc machines and robotics, we will see a shift to decentralized production … perhaps distribution will become more distributed with self-driving cars/trucks too … I can only hope.
