    The most existential question in crypto: what will be the relationship between tokens and communities? At stake: can DAOs bring virtue back to scaled organization? Or will they accelerate the economics-only mentalities that have been corroding society? A way-too-long-🧵👇

    Web3 is getting close to 0->1. Once there, it will go 1->60 in a blur. This week I've tried 3 Web3-Notion-like apps. Each has a different killer feature built on open data. No 2yr wait for a partial API. They will be customized, reimagined, and extended breathtakingly fast.

    The killer app of Web3 isn't an app: it's the new way apps will be built and interact via open data. An attempt to break down "Composable data" without technical jargon or a single mention of blockchain. mirror.xyz/0xBcfD8dDAc6B8…

    Web3 is again abuzz about identity and reputation. What is identity? How should you think about it and build for it in Web3? Here's a short primer based on 6 years of working on 'identity' in both Web3 and meatspace

    What does this mean for communities and how they should view tokens? Dee Hock, founder of Visa (a pioneering decentralized organization), provides a better warning than I can:

    Why might tokens crowd out other values? Humans are motivated by different factors in different contexts. Markets are governed by self-interest, mediated by money. Communities and cultures are governed by reputation, value-alignment and norms. They often can't co-exist.

    The key (I think): the community must remain stronger than the economic rewards. And not in a soft, aspirational way. There must be more motivation and agency built into the community (layer0) than there is economic motivation built into the cryptoeconomics (layer1).

    1. Make community tokens look less like money. Non-fungibility, non-transferability, limited liquidity, penalties for norm violations could all work. The token can still hold value, but is less likely to attract value-dilutive speculators or be viewed as a purely economic asset

    These are not isolated cases. Economic, community and cultural motivations are highly interactive, complex, and powerful. Incentives frequently backfire because this isn't well enough understood. Aside: I highly recommend anyone interested in this read amazon.com/Moral-Economy-…)

    Web2: compete to build a network Web3: cooperate to build the network, compete on applications of it

    Is a sensible AI regulation "AIs cannot lead AI research"? While a pill to swallow for accelerationists, it leaves most fields open and less regulated while putting a natural governor on how far AI can design and advance itself beyond human understanding and control.

    Introducing new incentives changes our framing & activates different motivations. A famous ex: an Israeli school added fines for late pickups-->late pickups skyrocketed. The $ fine crowded out the guilt that had made more parents on-time before and implicitly condoned tardiness.
