My take on this is that the transactional and the relational approaches are one and the same, the actual issue is the focus of the relationship. If we focus on objects, services and coin, then we're seeing other people merely as conduits to get the stuff we want, because our relationship is with the stuff, not with the human beings behind them. But exchanging knowledge and emotions with people is also a transaction, only on a different level and with a different mindset.
My view is that cryptos are actually offering us enormous potential to shift this focus by dismantling the concept of money, the most powerful and far-reaching narrative we have, and revealing the true value beneath all words and concepts: Faith and Trust. The more people realize that every relationship is based on energy and that every transaction depends on mutual confidence, the more wholehearted our world will become. I feel that process is well underway, and that this year has been a huge accelerator for that shift.
Thanks so much for your perspective. I love the idea and have to reflect on it more in practice.
