Building 'Google For The Economic Web' using the Ethereum blockchain
The document discusses the concept of building a 'Google for the economic web' using the Ethereum blockchain, focusing on the role of token-based interest groups that operate on economic incentives rather than social connections. It emphasizes the importance of curators in content discovery and the mechanisms through which they can monetize their attention and reputation, ultimately influencing token valuation within these networks. Additionally, it highlights the potential of decentralized platforms like userfeeds.io to enhance content curation and discovery based on cryptoeconomic relationships.
