Great discussion again. All that talk about network effects, use cases, and tribalism is super-interesting, and those things are no doubt totally valid factors in determining the ultimate survivors in the vast field of tokens out there. But I can’t help but think that those effects are in many if not most cases swamped by the fact the main function of crypto is often as a vehicle for fraud. Manipulation almost certainly dwarfs the impact of those other (very interesting) effects. So any discussion of use cases, governance, group loyalty, underlying tech, etc. and how those relate to network effects is incomplete without at least a mention of the huge effects of manipulation. I mean, right? What kind of jihadist are you, anyways?
