Vijith Assar on Security Risks from Billionaires

Writing for Wired, Vijith Assar raises some excellent points on how bad actors with capital are the most dangerous threat to any system.

Capital can kill code. Capital can kill anything. So if what you have created is important, then so long as billionaires still exist, you are going to need to turn it into something that can’t be bought. An idea that can’t be killed is more valuable than an idea that can be killed, and the only thing that billions of dollars cannot kill is something that cannot have a price tag to begin with, because it exists in abundance, endlessly replicating as it spreads across the world.
