Bart had a very interesting talk with Maarten Smakman about a new mysterious project: IS IT COPERNICUS?. The project explores the decentralization of money & power in an unusual, somewhat disturbing way. Maarten talks about scarcity, greed & reputation which have an interesting dynamic and can learn us about the future of value systems and how we react on that. Technology now brings us constructions for money and value like we never had before. We need to explore and learn before we can grow. Learn about this amazing project!
