Can you expand on your answer? Why do you say that using blockchain (and I mean blockchain and not cryptocurrency) would be no good?

Also I love the colorful imagery of "fertilizing your garden with powdered uranium" 😄

I had Midjourney draw it up for us:

Yeah I apologize if I seemed dismissive of theory in general.

Here is my general outlook, which is heavily biased by my background in software development. Everything can and should be improved by iterative process, and can be operated on in a similar manner to open-source software. If my concepts are lacking in theory that is simply because they should be viewed as incomplete and open for MAJOR improvements, in all areas. They should be improved upon by a team of experts, and improvements made where needed. They are living and breathing and currently in release 0.0.1. They can be forked and modified. They can have upstream and downstream dependencies. They should be a part mesh of components, practical, theoretical, physical, digital etc.

Also it's my garbage answer for anything I can't answer right now; "it'll be fixed in the future by iterative process" 😄

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are not synonymous 🙂. More here -> https://www.simpleshowing.com/blog/web3-vs-blockchain-vs-crypto

Valid points. Regrettably my Donning Kruger effect is not strong enough to allow me to believe I have the solution. However, conceptually, I like to imagine of things working like scalable software implementations. Create a system that can be "easily" implemented such as creating a single DAC, I mean CityDAO is already a few years down the road and they seem to be doing alright. Starting small and scaling up seems like something that could be more easily experimented with, than running whole Marx-derivative states.

Being a very literal person; I like implementation specifics more than only proposing ideals and theories 😊.

Agreed. It is not the main problem.

Of course what I've written about here above and in my link is not a complete picture. I mention Blockchain less in relation to financial information and more as a way to store data in an immutable and transparent way, as opposed to the current proprietary closed systems. More public decision making, how funds are spent etc. For example if you go to a doctor in Denmark, you can read what he wrote about the visit in a private portal afterwards, or another example, where some municipalities in the Nordics make financial data available to the public trough easily digestible websites. I would imagine that if we were to store most financial information in a form where it could be easily accessed and understood it would likely lead to better financial practices. "The Blockchain Revolution" by Don and Alex Tapscott has some more to say about similar thinking -> https://blockchain-revolution.com/.

What I am proposing are blueprints for betterment, not magic beans. Sorry 😊.

Where is that summary bot when I need it?

Here's me trying to save someone from the click bait title; "Birthplace of the Anthropocene For the Anthropocene, the proposed golden spike location is sediment cored from the bed of Crawford Lake that reveals the geochemical traces of nuclear bomb tests, specifically plutonium — a radioactive element widely detected across the world in coral reefs, ice cores and peat bogs."

I hope you're generating your diagram from code and not editing it by hand like a caveman? If not I suggest https://kroki.io/
