Circular Hyper-centralization et al.

Hyper-centralization

  • #Banks that aggregate customer data; then sell/lease it to 3rd parties (#DeFi) without compensating customers
  • #Energy companies who trade energy products but neither produce, distribute, nor consume any of the products they trade in: electricity, nuclear, coal, gas, oil, …
  • #Governments that outsource to #IDP‘s

Circular Hyper-centralization

  • #Healthcare providers and insurers who jointly pool and mine their patient data
  • #BigTech companies who invest in each other – taking equity positions and payments in a circular loop
  • #Telco, #BigTech, and #Governments that prevent individuals from having a personal presence (static address) on the Internet

Circular Hyper-centralization is the worst possible/deadly scenario/societal configuration.
