    Through most of history we lacked the resources to make use of underutilized human capital. In the developed world this is no longer the case. We are investing heavily in trying to make unsatisfactory human capital, satisfactory.

    “Q&A: CURT: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE FUTURE OF RIPPLE?” (THE CRYPTOCURRENCY) —“In my opinion, Ripple is currently the long term win beacsue institutions will buy into it, the public can make use of it, and they are friendly to govt regulation. My concern with BTC, having been a small investor in an experimental BTC company, is that it has too many negatives: near impossibility of use, poor transaction rates, problem of scale, record of corruption(thefts), high ‘fringe’ (criminal) factor involved. I have a hard time seeing BTC survive (long term) as other than the exchange of choice for drug dealers, money launderers, and gamblers. But that will not stop the low volume-high price of btc. So I separate the investment opportunity and the timing of exit before collapse, from the long term viability of the technology. BTC price gain is due to, speculation on price gains not on the future of the technology. This same opportunity may not be present for Ripple which is a traditional business model.”— Curt Doolittle

    Nick: Summary: BTC = fractional shares of host network functioning as token money substitute = off-book R&D for govts. = Future Fiat Money.

  • The Full Range of Market Goods?

    • Goods (Physical),
    • Services (Actions),
    • Information (Knowledge)
    • Promises (Requirements),
    • Opportunities (Options)
    Is that all there is really?  Yep.  Next Question. But when we talk about goods and services, that isn’t (a) all that markets produce, and (b) all that we regulate.  The question is why we don’t regulate information the way we regulate goods, services, promises, and opportunities.

  • Doolittle’s Law Of Market Limits

    DOOLITTLE’S LAW OF MARKET LIMITS The limit to the evolutionary value markets, is measurable by changes in genetic capital, and genetic capital is measureable by differences in total number of population and distribution(superiority) of traits. Likewise, the limit to genetic capital is competitive speciation (transcendence). Again, if you cannot state the limit to a theory(‘good’) then you do not understand of what you speak.
