oooh, food for thought! the example of the farmers market is an interesting one.. thats a shame it didnt work out.. many do of course... especially the very local ones that are a part of the community events.. but sometimes things go wrong.. Making the right decisions when things are not going well are the most important.. we should hold on to our values, and make them carefully..
i believe in what i am now calling ultra-decentralised systems.. they are ones that are not only decentralised, but also work organically with least effort, and with minimal rules or restrictions. The problem i think with your local farmers is that they are a tiny, isolated group still tied and trying to operate within the centralised systems. First we have to get out of its control and pressures, by becoming self sufficient ourselves, and then we can start making the right decisions for healthy abundance.
Cryptos and tokens are decentralised because no one has outright control of it, and anyone can step in and gain influence at any time. Many start off more centralised as the tokens get adopted over time,
