Reputation, whether it’s called “social credit scores” or something else, is necessary and unavoidable. Just like money, it becomes dystopian when it’s controlled centrally, but not when it’s decentralized. btc != the dystopia of fiat, and likewise: decentralized reputation != the dystopia of centralized reputation. The challenge, therefore, is how to decentralize it. (I don’t know if you were implying otherwise. Just a point I felt was worth making. 😊)
