[p2p-research] Resilience and scale invariance

[Ryan Lanham]

Interesting goal for sustainable ops...scale invariance...p2p should tend to
optimize for this.

Marc, in your flows concept, does scale matter?  I'm reading Hy Minsky now
on John Maynard Keynes, and he spends a lot of time discussing scale in
various ways.

Also, Dan Ariely, in *Predictably Irrrational *discusses the fact that theft
is a greater issue in tokens than in cash systmes (2nd to last chapter).
Haven't seen that line developed re: alternative currencies / open money.
He seems to suggest tokens aren't perceived as "real" and therefore are less
likely to trigger moral barriers.
