Incentive Design

Does crypto improve distribution for creators? Maybe, maybe not (thread)

I’m increasingly of the belief that incentive design is the most important problem to work on. Humans are good at overcoming obstacles when they have reason to do so — the worst problems tend to be ones of cooperation, not technological or scientific understanding.

Prediction: Incentive designer will be a new title in web3. I think of it as a product designer that can draw on principles from economics/tokenomics, psychology, and engineering. Incentives govern everything!
