Move fast and break things” was the famous motto of Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder. Among those broken things have been norms of trustworthiness essential to democracy. An activity as dependent on trust as democratic politics is money and finance. This is why developments here cannot be left to the greed and fanaticism we see in the world of cryptocurrencies. Careful assessment needs to be made of this world and its relationship to the broader one of digital money. Change is indeed on the way. But it cannot be left to happen.
“行動敏捷，打破傳統”(move fast and break things)是Facebook創始人馬克?扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)的著名座右銘。被打破的東西也包括對民主而言不可或缺的信任。與民主政治一樣，貨幣和金融活動也依賴于信任。這就是為什么，不能任由我們在加密貨幣世界中看到的貪婪和狂熱來左右貨幣和金融領域的發展。加密貨幣世界及其與更廣泛的數字貨幣世界的關系需要仔細評估。改變的確將會發生。但不能等著它去發生。
