Decentralization sounds like a “crypto thing” but it’s actually a massive megatrend that will affect every layer of society

By solving the Byzantine General’s problem, bitcoin gifted us a roadmap for collaborating with strangers (and even enemies)

Mining + incentives = a playbook for replacing centralized orgs with open networks

It’s a shift from punishment to rewards

A treasure map for turning companies into protocols

At very high levels, I see decentralization everywhere:

- Open-source education
- At-home medical tests and treatments
- Use crypto to be your own bank
- Ethereum and Solana apps as an alternative to Apple and Google appstores, etc.
