Ultimately we're trying to build the next Visa, not the next PayPal. We're building a human network based on how we think the future of payments will work. The current model needs to be blown up.

"Somehow, robotically, they will have to go in there and manage to put it in a container and store it for infinity, and that technology doesn't exist. Nobody knows how to pick up the molten core from the floor, there is no solution available now for picking that up from the floor."

Network Realism: William Gibson and new forms of Fiction | booktwo.org
Hi James, (I guess I should put that somewhere, maybe on my Web site later today) About the article on Network Realism http://booktwo.org/notebook/network-realism/ I haven't read Gibson's book - Zero History, but I have written something about "Network Opacity" which somehow relates to the idea you are explaining. I usually do not like to use the word "Privacy", because I do not think it really exists as a binary concept. I prefer to use the concept of "Opacity" as a continuum of information permeability. More or less opaque, depending on contexts, people, distances and *time*, we will access to the information about people. The Internet network has a tendency to make the opacity super thin and that creates all issues that people/media call "Privacy". You can read about it "From Privacy To Opacity - Digital Me Management" http://www.w3.org/2010/api-privacy-ws/papers/privacy-ws-3 Let's go back to "Zero History". The value of things is motivated by a few parameters: * difficult to reproduce * difficult to access History has value because we forget. In a society, where all our memories are always accessible, identically, and even in some circumstances shared, memories has suddenly no meaning. They became part of the present. The value of remembering is (was) higher because we have a risk to forget. The opacity of time becoming thinner this risk is less important. Then the paradigm changes into something else. Maybe in our capacity to keep all these data always. We become obsess by data backups, we do not want to loose anything digital, because it becomes easier and cheaper to keep, to have access to the past at anytime. The past is part of the present. As for the future, it doesn't exist.Network Realism is writing that is of and about the network. It’s realism because it’s so close to our present reality. A realism that posits an increasingly 1:1 relationship between Fiction and the World. A realtime link. And it’s networked because it lives in a place that’s that’s enabled by, and only recently made possible by, our technological connectedness.
