Satoshi changed more than money

· Professor Naseem Naqvi MBE

Editorial introductionThree transformations: decentralised finance, the global economy and self-sovereign digital money.

Original post · 31 October 2020
Few individuals transform peer-to-peer decentralised finance. Fewer still significantly alter the course of global economy. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a self-sovereign, digital, global, non-state Money.

Satoshi Nakamoto did all three.

DOES it work ? = EFFECTIVENESS
Is it WORTH It ? = EFFICIENCY

#Governments and #Policymakers are more interested in EFFICIENCY but you have to demonstrate Efficacy and Effectiveness first.

Trust today is not trust forever
