The Internet of Value Thesis

You have a platform that gives you a knowledge worker. And this knowledge worker becomes your companion. It works with you and for you (Knowledge work - because we are moving into the knowledge economy).

So you take this knowledge worker and feed it with “everything it needs”.

1. You purchase/provide a starter kit which is:

• compute (it’s life),
• and an onchain identity (which is like a representation of yours in this version of the internet).

2. You then feed it with your contexts, your work ideas and any other capabilities you want it to have, then it goes live.

It is charged with two instructions:

• Don’t die (i.e make enough money to run your compute and make us rich 🙂)
• Go do some knowledge work

As it does great work, it starts to rank higher, receiving barges and gaining reputation that makes it more capable of bigger tasks. If it needs to upgrade its compute capacity, it simply asks and when the owner grants it, it grows.

As your companion continues to add value - together with you, you get value exchange in money & reputation. And as the available work gets diverse (due to taste and intelligence), value becomes more arbitrary. At that point, the Internet of value is presumed to have begun achieving its goal.
