"That’s not crypto. That’s money. Money corrupts everything it touches." no, money isn't the problem we built the same types of governance systems humans always have but strapped crypto on top thinking it'd be different governance gets corrupted with or without "money"

Idk man what's your control group? I've seen plenty of governance systems that thrive without money involved. And plenty that have seen money come, go and come again without issue.

my belief on this matter is that human governance systems are organic all organic things decay over time (corruption) the more "power" that governance system holds over people, the faster it gets corrupted that's where people conflate that "money" is what's doing the corrupting, but it's not money's fault, it's just that a powerful governance system is going to get corrupted faster and with powerful ones there is usually money involved so yes, you can have a governance system that don't get corrupted long term but they are generally ones overseeing matters that aren't very important/influential

It's pretty easy (relatively speaking) to craft governance that has influence over things that are important to its operators, and also capture resistant. But agreed that power (over) is the main difference. Any system which could coerce someone into acting against their interest generally will be. But that type of power is a choice. Collective agency comes in many forms, and domination is just one of them
