RE: Two Choices: Crypto-Economics Or The Useless Class

in #steem7 years ago

These useless people could do lots of things with their time. Play with their kids, jog, relax, paint, take up a hobby or two. We need to think outside the box. Right now we are so used to rewarding people based on economic productivity that it is hard to imagine how to cope with an age of abundance. Imagine the reward pool on Steem being split equally among all users and then all goods and services priced using only Steem. One wouldn’t even have to transfer the Steem: when a user uses Steem to buy something, it could simply disappear. As long as prices reflect scarcity of resources, this could work.
