It doesn’t always make sense to have a token on the blockchain that is both useful and represents ownership – it has to be something where there’s a network effect. That’s why I cite Facebook as an example of what could be disrupted more so than, say, Amazon – which is bit more centralized and is not exactly a network of users in the same way.

I suspect that one of capitalism’s crucial assets derives from the fact that the imagination of economists, including its critics, lags well behind its own inventiveness, the arbitrariness of its undertaking and the ruthlessness of the way in which it proceeds.
