INSIGHT

Value vs. Money

Money is a tool to convert between different forms of value, but it has become the primary metric for societal success.
True value encompasses much more than just money; money acts as a bottleneck when it becomes the sole focus.

INSIGHT

Rethinking Value

A real mentality shift is needed, where value creation is directly linked to financial reward.
Shifting from optimizing for money to optimizing for value itself can lead to a more equitable society.

INSIGHT

Attestations & Irrigation

Attestations, like tweets or DAO payments, can be quantified and verified on-chain, creating a real-time map of value.
This "irrigation system" directs resources based on collective attestations, optimizing value distribution.
