thehorrors: okay, but are you trying to say that the complexity is to blame?
signpost: I'm saying that a technological artefact is not separable from the political process that emitted it.
signpost: when designing a cryptocurrency these are part of the design.
signpost: that I want to read and understand both the src of the currency and its total state at all times is certainly helped by that model fitting in my head.
thehorrors: I am not sure I fully agree with you. I think there are feedback loops and the clusterfuck that we witness is ultimately emergent. Okay, suppose a crypto client fits in your head. Still, the only people who can operate upon it meaningfully will be people proficient in software - to the point where they can actually appreciate the simplicity and more importantly - uphold it.
