Read Write Own
By Chris Dixon
Categories: Business & Money, Computers & Technology
Chris Dixon, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, argues that the internet has moved through three eras. The first, read, democratized information. The second, read-write, let anyone publish but concentrated power and profits in a few large platforms. Dixon makes the case that blockchains open a third era, own, in which users and builders share control and economic rewards. He explains tokens, protocol networks and composability, and addresses regulation and crypto's speculative "casino" culture.
