Pretty interesting ideas! I think a token where people could profit and still have some of the profit collected as a donation could be a viable model. I'm sure there would be a ton of people interested if it was somewhat decentralized or transparent.
It may be an industry in need of change. How much of charity donations statistically go to the cause - like 20%? And, how often is that money spent as one-off handouts rather than establishing sustainable infrastructures?
Think the giving a man a fish versus teaching him how to fish metaphor. That's largely how I see the distinction between where the models ought to be evolving...
This is a fantastic post on application of game theory and tokenization as a means of solving intractable problems. It's a thing we need to understand, as a people that want a sustainable planet: we're not going back. There is no political constituency for restraining growth and pushing people to do things against their economic interests. Harnessing those interests, however, could be done much more effectively than it has, and the potential of those interests to solve ill-defined problems is limitless.
@rok-sivante - I totally agree that projects to solve major issues of the society and the planet never really take off because there is no bottom line result. I try to spread the message about wildlife conservation and habitat protection - I regularly see great ideas in this field fall by the wayside because of lack of funding.. I think your idea of crowdfunding with something like ICOs is great since it will incentivise people to support a cause they like and also get some financial return. I am totally new to this crypto
Not to be down on the concept, which is AWESOME, but anything that has a physical manifestation in the world is very difficult to tokenize. What incentives do governments, communities, or anyone have to lower emissions based upon the jurisdiction of a coin?
good question. and to be honest, I don't feel qualified to confidently give any sort of answer. or, maybe just lazy.
governments and communities are composed of people. alot of these people realize we need to act fast on cleaning up the environment. there are plans going into place to make these things happen. progress may be slow at this point, but there is motion because at the end of the day, alot of these people are realizing it's not an option to delay if they want to leave anything of this planet left for their grandkids.
the coin is merely a tool. if its jurisdiction could be structured intelligently to help solve the problems that these people in government have been unable to...
Thanks this is exactly why i find steemit interesting. You are paid based on the work you have done here, ofcourse people can invest to get more attention but it is still everyone game if you can post good content. The same idea could bring to utility e.g distribute token base on the work you have done. E.g. How must waste you have reduced today. These can be all evidenced in todays world.
Yep. The rewards-for-contribution - based on direct value as determined by community members - model here is a powerful one, just waiting to be adapted to different communities, platforms, industries, etc...
Understanding this, is the key to mainstream acceptance of Cryptocurrencies. Thank you for expanding my understanding so that i can try to explain to the simpletons in my day-in-day-out life.
your welcome. t'is a challenge breaking down the potentials and visions of how this tech could be implemented simplistically without all the technical jargon, to clarify the benefits awaiting if better understood...
A positively creative and potent article for us all. Thanks for sharing, it is so hopeful and filled with light. Namaste :)
Pretty interesting ideas! I think a token where people could profit and still have some of the profit collected as a donation could be a viable model. I'm sure there would be a ton of people interested if it was somewhat decentralized or transparent.
plus, there'd be the benefit of being able to write off the donation against taxable income.
and of course, would be transparent - and probably moreless decentralized. well, am sure there are plenty of ways could be setup...
It could change the whole charity industry!

Good analysis. I'll be watching for more.
great perspective. looking forward to more of your contributions...

Pretty deep stuff. But I definitely agree with you with there being no fiat! Good read keep steeming!
