Decentralization fetishism will not save this ideology. What Saskia Sassen also talks about, in her book Expulsions, is how systems that distribute and decentralize also obfuscate responsibility and accountability. Decentralization, and the focus on it, is not the cure but the enabler of capital 2.0. Cryptocurrencies, most, many and perhaps all, are Adam Smiths invisible hand encoded and now just when we thought there may be a future where the market is NOT considered nature, the anarchist and libertarian coders went and enshrined those principles in code and distributed it in a manner that makes changing it even more costly than before. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEE+DJVyCKcNGLdrfRseLrG2Swvz+4FAlozxAkACgkQeLrG2Swv z+4OXw/+JhFYUVZ2QiYivM5u9oSRu9lfxR6pCrsVptRz2jLZmaN4hyU5RpsFv92W 1Rk/MoV1C9MhgRU6iQE5nMqUm+04v0qIuOfCCXJuodfGR3xHCJ2OyRZEurOsXus6 Cb9bgQa2Xci9HLswUshbKyV5lMmU7wdLL0xWAbgFyUEyuRdwPVtuTJ7AxgL4z6KX /bHHJz0BL36tYidyptzFY2PkpKheQtqAT6kiaMW4tvVLiU0DX+cp4b0H5FcCDX6V AdywkGn9h2gCDUAOG3wtw4vOUWu3WVxoufkozfmhYqsBl9+uGoKBpRjSKZRMo3R8 nvuCbmVi0RPHl48gy81V32xgznQ++4HcsATVecnA6Cn/lwdcEP8L5luGK08a+XJr /3mHEHvbWZnRkdz+4Z17ufuIleVqalmim3T+ac1HRic+dt3Uwweo3lbUhZNOHwEL qx0ExT6mvt9cGPz0x8837mS2d1Tij310iqhrzVwIqQYYKCgrKsfN0Xzrw8IHb3gG 09oWCaT39oFA2oo5N/d1aVUiRm7PJjieYnQsmjkJXYjYXd7dp30irXtwRui5u0Z5 evkgVeSXkVetTwbtRUeAZw4cMGIycCX/BPkWyz9BybqowREhbBOKE9K7r+buW+jK lCdI0VY1jimI/YBiD3YUkh3pkFxCkAZZzY6wyP3McK/JzqE991w= =zn8J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected] # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
