The Most Interesting Debate In Corporate Governance Is Happening In Real Time And Most People Don’t Even Know About It

The most interesting debate in corporate governance is not happening in the boardroom or  between activist owners and boards. Rather, it’s happening all across a field of public (aka “permissionless”) blockchains, as communities mostly made up of strangers rapidly realize they are stakeholders in multi-billion-dollar ecosystems. дальше »

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way. дальше »

In my last article I answered some of the questions I often hear from family or friends who want to buy Bitcoin for the first time. I also recommended what I think is the easiest way to get started, Coinbase.

Today let’s have a look at two of the most popular follow-up questions I receive, usually in the minutes immediately after the Bitcoin purchase goes through. How can I buy some other coins?While Bitcoin is by far the most well-known and desired cryptocurrency, there are many other coins, known as Altcoins, out there these days. Some дальше »
