"The defining characteristic of anything digital is its zero marginal cost…Bitcoin and the breakthrough it represents, broadly speaking, changes all that. For the first time something can be both digital and unique, without any real world representation."
My question is this: is this the solution to our ongoing problem of not being able to properly reward the creation of digital goods because they can be infinitely reproduced ? I know that this could be considered bad news by a lot of people that use such digital goods for free, but this type of technology can't help but be a net positive benefit for everyone, if true. Especially since we're seeing a future in which more and more people will experience the ill effects of automation on their jobs and careers.
