McCourt, their forthcoming book:  Our Biggest Fight: Reclaiming Liberty, Humanity, and Dignity in the Digital Age In this week's installment of "Money Reimagined," hosts  Michael Casey and  Sheila Warren discuss the intersection of technology, culture, and crypto.

Their conversation highlights the importance of building better communities and rethinking the structures and incentives that shape online interactions.  Takeaways | The crypto community needs to address the increasing toxicity in certain corners and strive for a more inclusive and equitable culture. The challenges of moderation on social media platforms highlight the need to rethink the structures and incentives that shape online behavior. Building better communities and promoting positive norms and behaviors is crucial for creating a healthier digital environment. The intersection of technology, culture, and crypto presents opportunities to address inequities and distortions on the internet. The online economy incentivizes extreme behavior and polarizing discussions, driven by the pursuit of attention and financial gain. Crypto culture emerged in the social media era and is influenced by algorithmic systems that prioritize engagement over thoughtful discourse. Blockchain technology has the potential to empower hyperlocal communities and enable meaningful change at a local level. The erosion of local media has contributed to the rise of toxic behavior in online communities. Policy-making should consider the nuances of different communities and focus on addressing local issues that directly impact people's lives.
