Brother Erickson, You Get It…

Apart from last weekend’s review in the New York Times, it’s fair to say there hasn’t been a giant load of critical appraisal of my book in the mainstream press. I’ve had a lot of publicity — numerous radio interviews, TV appearances, and excerpts on various high-profile web sites — and all that has been great.

Quotes by Michael J. Casey (?)

“What do these decades-old international organizations see in an arcane digital technology built by the crypto-libertarians and Cypherpunks who gave us Bitcoin? It’s the prospect that this decentralized computing system could resolve the issue of social capital deficits that we discussed in the context of the Azraq refugee camp. By creating a common record of a community’s transactions and activities that no single person or intermediating institution has the power to change, the UN’s blockchain provides a foundation for people to trust that they can securely interact and exchange value with each other.”
― Michael J. Casey, The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything

“Their model showed that if we can resolve our trust issues with technology and give people confidence to transact, those people are willing and able to go into direct exchanges with complete strangers. These ideas are setting us on a path to a peer-to-peer economy.”

“The best way to think about blockchain technology, then, is not as a replacement of trust—as a “trustless” solution, as some cryptocurrency fanatics damagingly describe it—but as a tool upon which society can create the common stories it needs to sow even greater trust, to build social capital, and to forge a better world.”
