Are you claiming that anything useful that requires thermodynamic work can be monetized? You may be right but that isn't obvious.

- jstanley 7y agoIt's a simpler claim than that. The claim is that anything useful can be monetised. If you come up with something useful, but noone is willing to buy it at any price, what's your basis for claiming that it's useful?
- strbean 7y agoIf the useful product is intellectual, and proving work involves publishing the product freely, how do you monetize it? Selling support contracts a la FLOSS? It also happens that both these conditions (intellectual product + must be published freely) are the typical approach of PoW blockchains.
