Types of Compensation for Bonding

8. Some voting and/or decision making, ability to edit/change

13. Commitment to a set of human relationships (right-brain, intrinsic)

We believe that all companies with network effects will have tokens in the next five years to help them bond nodes to their networks, both their product network and their company network.

We know from countless examples, that networks and companies only based on extrinsic compensation are fragile. What is strong is the combination of right and left brain psychology. The combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations.

In the past, we only had cash and stock as ways of approximating a node’s value to the network. Those were such blunt tools, so the idea of more closely approximating your network value to your actual compensation rarely came up. But now we have crypto. And that mechanism allows us to measure cheaply and discreetly.
