Your work inspires hope! Decentralization of medicine is the way forward. Systematic integrity is a ground-up process, not a top down imposition. Reading Matt Ridley’s “The Evolution of Everything,” one can begin see why centralization (government, banking, education, medicine, etc.) seems so out of place on our planet. The Blockchain solution holds great promise, how can we help?
Of course Web3 does. It is tragic that many associate the growth of Web3 with the corruption displayed by the FTX debacle. Decentralization will march on and it is reason to be optimistic about the world.
Most scientific journals are owned by Elsevier and sub divisions and they can charge quite a bit of money to subscribe to a journal for one year ($500 or more per year) or per article ($20 per article and up). This creates a paywall and limits who can read those studies. But there are some free sources of studies as well.
What's the advantage of publishing scientific work on the blockchain as opposed to something like arXive? As far as I can tell neither of these options would have any kind of centralized gatekeepers, unless there is something I don't understand about arXive.
Something I'd love to see is a way for researchers to create something akin to smart contracts on the blockchain for crowd funding of research. Maybe we could fund all of the studies we'd love to see done related to the vaccine that the centralized institutions won't even consider funding. Maybe we could fund more autopsies on those whose deaths are suspected to be due to the vaccines. Maybe we could fund a full analysis and characterization of all those clots being pulled out of people. And, who knows, maybe we could manage to drive a big ole wedge right through the monolithic medical-industrial complex.
Bitcoin as a Release Valve is a dangerously corrosive concept. What's so bad about this universal solvent is it destroys everything it touches except virtue. Won't be much left. Might be the rocket fuel that shoots us through the Singularity. This may be why Krugman said he didn't quite understand it.
I may have accidentally only emailed this out to subscribers only and don't know how to fix that. Whoops.

In layperson's terms ... while data / blockchain can build digital prisons ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgbNku6aAWY ) , it can also be used to do the opposite?
