You and I think very alike. I have been theorizing since before Bitcoin, that we need to incentivize the value of doing the right thing.

Currently the monetary system seems to be incentivizing selfishness, destruction of the environment, and doing the right thing always costs us money. To me it just seems we just had no way to measure the true value that our heart senses, but now with everything being connected through the internet it's becoming very possible.

We could even look at things like the USA's NSA data gathering as double edged sword for thd positive. Once it's no longer in the hands of the centralized power hungry few, we can use the technology to gather data for a good purpose. If we do this right we can make people rich for doing things that benefit the world, incentivize companies to be sustainable, and making sure our happiness is valued above the desire of our employers to profit off our labor.

Also I think the environment needs to be treated like a bank account with an overdraft. Currently the environment is hurting, so we clearly have a negative "balance" with the environment. Thus if we expect to be able to take resources, we have to give more to the environment than we take. That way old unsustainable practices would become expensive, sustainable practices cheap, and the only way to get a tax break would be through helping rebuild the environment we've damaged.
