Thanks for the commentary. Do you think any cryptocurrency has applied effective monetary policy that addresses the issues described elsewhere in thus thread? Do you think token curated registries might be a reasonable context to explore game theory and monetary policy in a more iterative and experimental fashion?

I think stablecoins are a good idea but curiously (not really) no one accepts them for payments.

I wasn't aware of token curated registries but after skimming the paper (seems to be something like a prediction market?) I don't understand the connection to monetary policy.

Too many game theoretic attacks with stablecoins - still unproven.
