What I Learned in the Zeitgeist Movement | Part 2: "Waste = Profit"

Do you have anything written on why you believe that crypto is a better step forward over a RBE? I'd be interested in reading what you have.

Nope, I have not gotten to that part yet, it will probably be the last part of this series - a kind of outlook on the RBE with special consideration to cryptos.
The idea was not that it is better than an RBE, but rather that cryptos ARE a technical and actual way to achieving a society like the RBE envisions.
The problem so far was that adopting an RBE requires a massive shift of mind at once everywhere on Earth, because the market mechanisms will not give sufficient way for innovations to allow for such a fundamental transition (as outlined in this article).

Cryptocurrencies have the technical potential to kind of "babystep" humanity towards a system that relies on competency and tranparency. Some cryptos also have the potential to completely do away with scarcity based economics, and in a way cryptos allow people to take over the role a traditional bank used to fulfill.

A path I had not foreseen at all when I joined and eventually left the movement.
If he understood it, Jacque would be a major fan today. That said,

What do you think?
