Every financial intermediary between your work and your reward takes a cut.
The bank. The platform. The exchange.
Distributed economics asks:
What if the chain was shorter?
What if contribution flowed directly to reward?
That question has an answer now.

Extraction: value flows up.
Distribution: value flows everywhere.
Extraction: insiders first.
Distribution: same terms for all.
Extraction: zero-sum.
Distribution: exponential.
Different game. Different river. Different math.

The founder of Coinbase learned the hard way what distributed economics is built on:
Extraction killed growth.
Removing extraction unlocked compounding.
The whole industry needs to hear this story again right now.

Brian Armstrong shares the most important lesson from his startup failure before Coinbase
After realizing he could make $60/hour tutoring as a college student, Brian and his roommate decided to build an online marketplace for tutors. They would match tutors with students and take a 10% fee on all of the payments.
It worked great but there was one hiccup:
“What would happen often is they would meet the tutor and do the first payment, but then afterwards they’d start paying them under the table. So I realized at a certain point, we were basically just getting in the way. They wanted us to just match them, but they didn’t want us to be the whole billing apparatus.”
After struggling with this problem for years, Brian decided it wasn’t working and took a job as an early employee at Airbnb. He was initially planning on shutting down the site, but because 5,000-10,000 people were still using it every month, he decided to remove the payments and just make it a free online tutoring directory. He also added the option for tutors to pay $10/mo. to promote their profiles on the site.
Then he stopped looking at the site to focus on his new job. But the site suddenly began to take off. It doubled every year, and eventually Brian was able to sell the business for $2 million.
Brian concludes:
“The lesson was to stop trying to extract value and start trying to create more value.”

#zerowaste business is not the same as #zeroextraction business. Can business be fully circular if it still requires consumption of raw materials as the system keeps growing? #GLCEF2019 @UNEnvironment @UNEnvironmentNA @CGLRGreatlakes @CELeadershipCA @DavidSuzukiFDN
