Capitalism is a social construct, and as with all social constructs, it too will evolve or be replaced over time.
@albertwenger nails 3 areas capitalism falls short:
"1) pricing missing for things that we should be paying attention to
2) limited mechanisms for dealing w/ power laws arising from digital technologies.
3) acts to preserve the interests of capital over those of knowledge"

#Crypto can be seen from a very capitalist perspective, where the free markets rule and all property becomes a private & digitized bearer instrument.
#Crypto can also be seen from a communist perspective (yes, i said it), where the algorithms that support society are transformed from private capital into publicly-owned commons.
In reality, I think #crypto will blend capitalism, communism & other economic disciplines into a hybrid that significantly alters how we organize and incentivize human activity.
And while it's an irony to say as a VC, we have to do a better job of prioritizing labor over capital in the distribution of #cryptoassets -- important for society, and important for seeding the utility of the network.
