A New Economy
Solution to the problem I created Ubrica to solve is now as clear as the light of day. The problem is the tragedy of the common arising from prevailing economic governance of global health administration. I first documented this problem in Emergencing: Discovering the Tacit Dimension of Global Health, originally published in 2008. I described this problem again in the article Let Millions of Flowers Bloom, published in Wyathi Newsletter on LinkedIn.
Poor Job Representing the Poor
The problem is failure of coordination of economic governance of the stakeholders of global health. ?We are doing a very poor job representing stakeholders of global health, particularly representing the poor people living in developing countries as fundamental stakeholders. ?The poor and disenfranchised citizens of developing countries are fringe stakeholders of global health only expected to receive aid given by outsiders. International Development Organizations are considered salient stakeholders of global health contributing funds to fight diseases affecting the so-called poor people living in developing countries.
The Last Join the First
Blockchain is here to help coordinate the fringe and salient stakeholders on the same platform. Blockchain enables fringe stakeholders to gain a position of saliency.?The fringe stakeholders can now self-represent in the global economy, bringing them to the position of saliency, to generate sustainable one-health communities.
Let us Coordinate
The solution lies in coordination of global economic governance of stakeholders to produce sustainable global health. It always has been, as I stated it in Emergencing Thesis in 2008. ?We have missed it all along. I am asking you to embark on a journey in coordination of global health stakeholders economic governance on the blockchain. Let’s get connected to improve health outcomes of everyone here on earth. I believe that blockchain is transparent, global, programmable, incorruptible substrate for creating global level coordination of all stakeholders of global health, such that fringe stakeholders gain a position of saliency to create sustainable one health communities. ?Blockchain is the big deal because it is the utmost technology for coordination of economic governance of fringe and salient stakeholders of global health.
Traditionally blockchain technologies were associated with cypher punk movement, which advocates for use of cryptography in privacy technologies.
A New Horizon in Economic Governance has Profit
Decentralized nature of open blockchain has given us capability of coordinating economic governance of public good funding. Astonishingly, public good funding is profitable on blockchain.?Now you make profit doing good, investing in public good. Amazing!
Recently, we have witnessed an uptake by green movement which has deployed the blockchain to coordinate economic governance for stakeholders of large vexing problems facing humanity. Kevin Owoki’s Green Pill envisions a future where humanity has succeeded in making profit solving the contemporary coordination problem in sustainability, such as climate change and pollution. Gregory landua’s??proof of regeneration in the Regen project??uses the blockchain to answer the questions How can humans be a keystone species for regeneration of the earth? How is our presence here on earth a force of ecological regeneration, instead of a force of??ecological degradation? How can our presence in an ecosystem engender regeneration of our ecology such that our interactions have a net positive result.
Quadratic Funding Ushers the Fringe Stakeholders to Economic Saliency
Kevin Owoki’s Gitcoin leverages quadratic funding to coordinate for profit finance for developers of open-source software shared on open platforms such as GitHub.
Retroactive Public Good Funding. Now we are talking
Public roads are now possible to finance with private capital investments using Bob Dresser’s Optimistic retroactive public good funding mechanism.

Blockchain has brought to bear a world??of humans thriving on the sovereignty of cypher and ecological sustainability dimensions. What??has emerged is an economic model for funding public good with a profit motive. Public goods, such as fresh air, herd immunity, open-source software now have access to private capital.
Global Health Comes Next
Funding for global health that will produce sustainable one health communities remains unattended.
The pain of global existential risks such as pandemics or underfunded global health projects are coordination failures resulting in tragedy of the common followed in its wake by widespread poverty, causing disease, disability and death among the poor and disenfranchised in the world.
I believe that the basic building blocks of a regenerative crypto economics that produces sustainable one health communities in the world is an impact DAO that has intrinsic capability to create positive externalities for the public by the public. ?More about DAOs or decentralized autonomous organizations elsewhere in Wyathi.
But How?
Gregory Landua illuminated to us that besides??coordination of financial capital, coordination of social capital, material capital, intellectual capital, living capital, experiential capital, spiritual capital and cultural capital are all made possible by impact DAOs ushering fringe stakeholders to a position of saliency in economic governance. ?
Make Impact
Impact DAOs stack upon one another such that Each impact Dao benefits from all other impact DAOs on top, adjacent and below them. this is how impact DAOs, the basic unit of regenerative crypto, creates positive impact on the community. In the same vein, impact DAOs will create sustainable one health communities producing global health by ushering fringe stakeholders of global health to a position of saliency in economic governance.
Impact DAOs vary in mechanisms while at the same time they stack together to produce a pluralistic infrastructure for funding public goods.
The title of my upcoming book is Creating Sustainable One Health Communities with Crypto. Crypto is the ultimate tool for coordination of diverse stakeholders of health and human development. As Kevin Owoki pointed out, all coordination is a choice. It is impossible to create the best system in the world without individual choice to use them.
Call to Action
Please help me in moving forward the idea that crypto can create sustainable one health communities. I would like to invite you to join me, to create sustainable one health communities in the world.
As you join me, remember that the goodness that you can do for the world is here. I see a huge area of opportunity to do something greater than ourselves and choose to coordinate and give yourself to building a legacy in creating a positive regenerative crypto economic world of sustainable one health.
Take a stand yourself because you are to create human thriving by helping to eradicate existential risks posed by global pandemics. ?I invite you to be part of something that is bigger than yourself the wealth that you could use to make the world happier won’t make you any happier, but it will help you make an impact to increase your legacy. Join me in creating sustainable one health communities.
