Good you are bringing these up @trigs cause they went around spinning in my head for the rest of what was yesterday 🤣 Subversion Is something that destroys or damages an established system. Disruption Is something that intervenes with an existing process/system and introduces new methods/ technologies. Evolution Is a gradual process or development/change often improving by adding more complexity. Revolution Is a rapid process that fundamentally transforms a system/structure often involving mass mobilization. These are my understandings. Coming from there I do believe we are in need of a healthy mix of it all but undeniably blockchain technology and what comes with it requires a revolutionary mindset. We are not just introducing new apps to an existing market but asking people to become more autonomous. If we truly desire that change there is no way around the uncomfortable bits of the process!

I agree, we do need a bit of everything in our approach! Here's how I think about the context of these words: - subversion: to change things from within by challenging the core foundational thinking of the status quo. Yes, it destroys, but not with brute force from the outside working in. It's about getting underneath it all and addressing the foundation and letting the change grow from there. Many within the system don't even realize the change is happening until it's over. - disruption: outside>in change. It's about creating a break in continuity to force an existing system to stop so that a new system can start in its place. It's very loud and in everyone's face. I think both have their place in revolutions as well as evolutions. - revolution: the act of rejecting a system and choosing a new path - evolution: working within a system to adapt it to new conditions Either of these can be subversive or disruptive!
