What if we replaced reliance on giant corporations with an actually efficient free market in software, content and services?
GitHub/npm (centralized) has been the closest so far for software, and the Web (decentralized) has been the closest for content. But what if we could go further and implement XANADU 2020?
We would at minimum need a globally distributed utility token to allow value transfers without needing to mess around with merchant accounts and international payments.
Here is a progressively more detailed architecture of what something like that would look on a large scale:
If you read it, please share your thoughts and feedback - whether you like some things or would want improvements in other things. Especially interested in whether there is something we missed and the system absolutely won’t work (eg why would companies pay for open source software if they can just clone it and even distribute their fork and have their fork compete with it.)
I am a big fan of putting my money where my mouth is, so we are actually building this ecosystem.
