Vitalik Buterin

No. And I'm also not a capitalist. Both are 20th century ideologies. (And they are words that have been stretched and abused to the point of meaninglessness: remember, in the 1990s, Microsoft called Linux "communist": https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/ ) I support freedom, global equality of opportunity, kindness and cooperation, human welfare and progress. These are timeless principles. The question is how to use the tools we have available to achieve these values in the context of the 21st century. I've written at length about the kinds of mechanisms I personally support, but I definitely do not think that I am the only source of good ideas, I think figuring out the best approach is a shared project of both thinking and also increasingly real world experimentation.

@ai42
is there a term of 1 blog entry that defines version of ~capitalism (eg with quadratic voting + land value tax)? that’s still capitalism ig but just avoids the “toxic” term of the economic vehicle that got us this far, including ethereum - a capitalist technology with shareholder voting capabilities
