Part 10/13:
The guest describes building decentralized marketplaces ("diagon alley") where reputation and transactions are cryptographically secure. These systems aim to combat centralized points of failure, making dark markets and other illicit exchanges more resilient.
He advocates for payment splitting, reputation systems, and micropayment-based governance—mechanisms that incentivize honesty, transparency, and community engagement.
He emphasizes that such technologies can empower marginalized communities, like sex workers or small entrepreneurs, to operate safely and transparently without reliance on centralized authorities.
