Ian Grigg is one of the most influential builders in the crypto space, having built digital asset systems since the nineties. We discuss his invention of the Ricardian contract framework, what makes cryptonetworks successful, identity as communal phenomenon, and the importance of building positive-sum systems.

VR is not ready for artistic reasons, far more than for technical ones. So my prediction is this: the Metaverse is going to fail.
crypto wins by solving problems that nobody else can solve, profitably. It has to win at three levels to survive:
- Ordinary people have to use it
- It has to generate actual value, not just move value around
- Governments have to tolerate it or use it themselves — either one will do
There is practically no boomer control of bitcoin or Web3
So while the blockchain space is in some abstract sense perfectly private and perfectly reliable, things are weakest at the joints. The on-ramps and off-ramps are parts of the real world, they’re tied to physical reality and KYC/AML/CTF regulations.
