Knowledge, Learning, Community

I was talking about a lot of these technologies back in my 2019 e-learning 3.0 course and we learned enough back then to know that it's not a magic 'everything will now be paid for' button. Yes, things like blockchain, NFT and DAO provide better mechanisms for paid content, but they also provide better mechanisms to preserve the openness of open content. The good news is that the new technologies will keep the line between the two from blurring, which should keep most of us out of the courtroom. And that's a victory for everyone.
