I appreciate this perspective and have listened to a dozen+ podcasts with you as guest but I don’t totally get it. There isn’t a job for every person in this reality you describe and the very vast majority of people, myself included, live paycheck to paycheck and even if I can save a little in this new money technology it’s 1/ hard to fully believe in because it isn’t fully realized and 2/ isn’t possible to fully transition to. It’s a very narrow lane of people who can, for example, live on a bitcoin standard and have every action directed in and to this reality. It’s a privelged narrow lane of people. And extraordinary frustrating if one wants to take a leap in believing and servicing this new reality how very difficult it is to forge a path in it… 99% of people I interact with don’t believe in it so I’m grateful to have strong voices like yours and others hear to keep the path top of mind but it’s still a very giant mountain to move for us to realize this new world.
It’s a cool idea - teach kids important things and reward them with important money.
There’s tons of edtech apps and platforms already, content and pedagogy varies by age and preference, so I wonder if instead of building the whole thing could one just build the reward system and app and integrate with all other platforms somehow.
Also chores could fall in this camp.
