Vitalik Buterin: Bulldozers and the political axis of the veto

Bulldozer Description: Push or reject others everywhere.

In general, attempts to dismantle political interests in different spheres focus on two broad areas: "democratic governance" and "left extremism". You may have seen a political compass such as:

There are many variations in this area, and there are also dedicated memes subreddit (MEME) as shown in this figure. I even flipped this concept on myself, with the "metacosmic political compass", each element of the compass has a little compass that describes the axis of the compass as seen by that person.

Of course, "authoritarianism versus liberalism" and "left versus right" are both blunt oversimplifications. However, we have to understand that, as human beings have mental illness, we are not able to satisfy human desires, so sometimes the world needs to get through the conflict. But what if there is another surprise, no difference all oversimplifications are worth looking for?

Bulldozer entry conflict and veto

Think about the politics that emerged from these two oppositions.

Bulldozer: An actor can cause significant, costly, but potentially dangerous and unauthorized damage.

Veto: Anything that can be destructive and inconsistent must be approved by multiple participants and anything can be dropped.

Note that this is not the same as authoritarianism and liberalism or the left and the right. There may be administrative restrictions, collisions versus collisions, or other connections. Here are some examples.

The main differences between president-elect and president-elect are: Can't a government do good by doing bad things or defending good things? Supporters of his case have worked to make the actual transcript of this statement available online.

For example, I sometimes hear people complaining. America (but so do other nations) is lagging behind as many people use freedoms as an excuse to make unreasonable changes. But the question is is it really free? For example, isn't the Housing Restriction Act that prohibits a 36% increase in GDP an example of the problem that people don't have enough freedom to develop their own land? On the other hand, passing the argument over to several veto makes the argument clearer. The excessive restrictions placed on government by individuals and the restrictions placed on government are not the same, but on two sides of the same coin.

In fact, many recent political statements have referred to the veto system which is at the root of many major problems.

On the other hand, people are often confused when governments that do not respect human rights immediately express their love for Bitcoin. Are they liberal or authoritarian? In this context, the answer is simple. It's a bulldozer and it comes with all the advantages and risks that come with it.

What is the veto system for?

Supporters of the cryptocurrency exchange are trying to breed most of them bulldozers, but inside the management of cryptocurrencies is usually vetoed. Managing Bitcoin is difficult to trade and some important "legal" ones (like 21 million coins) are considered inaccurate, leading many Bitcoin users to believe that the chain breaks these rules by definition. No matter the level of support, more than Bitcoin.

While Ethereum protocol research is sometimes a big vehicle in action, the Ethereum EIP process that handles the delivery of investigations because the actual entry into the final stages of the blockchain is still less than Bitcoin but joins the justice of the power of veto. The constant change management state and the hard forks that prevent some use by the chain operation are tighter. Since the DAO fork, no one has been asked to deliberately "edit" a particular application by changing the rules or altering the balance. .

The reasons for the veto in these situations are obvious. It protects people and the platform they create or invest in will never immediately change the rules and destroy all the time and money they have invested. year. Cryptocurrency proponents often refer to the Citadel's intervention in Gamestop trading as an example of the opaque, centralized (bulldozer) system of manipulation they oppose. Web2 developers often complain that these intermediary platforms cause rapid changes to their APIs to disrupt the startups around them. And of course...

Victim of a bulldozer Vitalik Buterin

Well the life siphon removal story is an exaggeration of direct Ethereum inspiration, but ugliness has ruined my beloved wizard and my answer is real!

Likewise, the reasons for the veto in politics are clear. This was in response to the massive destruction of bulldozers at the start of the 20th century, which was small and unimaginable.

So what is synthesis?

The main purpose of this topic is to describe the axis, not to discuss a particular position. If the axes of veto power and bulldozers are like liberalism and despotism, then there must be competition and conflict within. Just as the white community will see potential corporate internists (yes, a lot of people are financially dissatisfied with making these choices), so many sports will be rejected, in other words, but they are in tune with the world, that is. is a bulldozer.

But here are a few things people may believe about bulldozers and vetoes:

There are a lot of veto powers in the physical world, but there are too many bulldozers in the digital world that cannot house bulldozers (that's why we need a blockchain?).

The long-term process of change should change the status quo, but preventing those changes requires a veto. These processes are expected to result from overexposure, excessive stress and inadequate stagnation.

Certain important organizations must be protected by a strong veto power. These schools are there to help the bulldozers make a difference and provide a trustworthy environment and these buildings will not be destroyed by the bulldozers.

Concretely, the bottom layer of the blockchain should not be recognized by a single vote, but the application process should leave plenty of room for bulldozers.

A cheaper (second vote? Harberger tax?) Gives you more veto and bulldozer advantages without paying too much.

When considering non-governmental organizations, vetoes and bulldozers are important documents of axial human organizations, whether the organizations are profitable or not, whether they are blockchain or otherwise. The ability to easily withdraw from a government interferes with the dialogue on democracy and the rule of law. I would love to see more experiences from the Left Encryption Project!). On the other hand, the veto and bulldozers continue to serve as a good guide for non-governmental models and are important for discussing new models of non-governmental organizations that have become important.
