My Square Family
What keeps bothering me about @Bedrock is that it seems built around a deeply human desire: the wish to do more without letting go. We want participation without rigidity, commitment without losing flexibility. At first, that feels efficient. But I suspect efficiency changes people as much as it changes systems.
In the beginning, users pay attention. They question assumptions and understand the trade-offs. Over time, familiarity replaces curiosity. Participation becomes routine. Trust shifts from knowledge to habit.
Maybe the risk is not technical failure. Technical failures are visible. The quieter danger is complacency. Governance can gradually become the work of a small group simply because most people stop showing up. Incentives that appear aligned during comfortable periods may diverge when conditions become difficult.
I am not sure whether Bedrock is ultimately a story about coordination or convenience. Perhaps the system works until nobody feels responsible for understanding it anymore. And perhaps that is the uncomfortable truth hidden beneath many decentralized experiments: the hardest thing to sustain is not infrastructure, but attention.
