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.
“行动敏捷，打破传统”(move fast and break things)是Facebook创始人马克•扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)的著名座右铭。被打破的东西也包括对民主而言不可或缺的信任。与民主政治一样，货币和金融活动也依赖于信任。这就是为什么，不能任由我们在加密货币世界中看到的贪婪和狂热来左右货币和金融领域的发展。加密货币世界及其与更广泛的数字货币世界的关系需要仔细评估。改变的确将会发生。但不能等着它去发生。
