    Lobbying and hand-waving about "space colonies" is easy. Real space industry and colonization is hard. It will happen via many small steps, not from central planning or all-encompassing geoengineering. https://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-succeed-or-fail-on-frontier.html … https://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2009/04/polynesians-vs-adam-smith.html … http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/rob/Courses/InformationInSpeech/CDROM/Literature/LOTwinterschool2006/szabo.best.vwh.net/comet.mining.html …https://twitter.com/foundersfund/status/996408053925724160 …

        Currently unanticipated steps, not centrally planned steps. Also, for a step to be viable it must pay for itself in terms of benefits to the people paying for it (this usually means a profitable business or military security; for very small steps can also be scientific benefits).

        Space colonization? I would rather have way to avoid aging than build a tent on Mars.

        we choose to lobby and hand wave in this decade and do the other things, because it is easy to extract wealth in the absence of real public scrutiny

        Do you genuinely believe that anyone would use bitcoin to build space equipment? Essentially credit allows for creative and destructive environments. Hoarding doesn't spur innovation. I'm a big Joseph Schumpeter believer. Curious your thoughts?

        Thoughts on those ideas about DAOs for organizing and funding decentralized space projects?
