1/5 Attention Tokens: Cultural Stores of Value in a Hyper-Distracted World
At the bottom of it all, crypto is a few core things: (1) a digital store of value (btc), (2) a currency (USDT, USDC), and (3) a hyper-connected incentive mechanism.
The first 2 are well on their way. I want to focus on the 3rd, mostly because I believe it has the potential to be the most impactful. Munger said it best, “show me the incentive, and I’ll show you the outcome”. In our hyper-distracted world, the incentive is to keep doom-scrolling, keep frying our attention, keep that dopamine drip flowing. My thesis is that the stage is now set for a new crypto store-of-value to incentivize a reawakening of the human mind, freeing us from the shackles of social media. I call them “Attention Tokens”. 4 replies
