Product Concepts (Lore)

metaphors right now during the conceptual phase, i am thinking about different "metaphors" and narratives that have been defining the world of counterparty the matrix neo/morpheus/red pill the action of scannning someone who isn't a member of counterparty is partially inspired by the matrix the person offering the qr code is morpheus and brings the scanner person into the counterparty world this world reveals the "online game mechanics" that are operating in the real world that person who scans somsone in now has a "mentoring" type responsibility as morpheus had with neo to ensure the person is active and engaged in counterparty pokemon go just as pokemon go is based on irl avatars via ar, counterparty derives much of its value and engagement in real life, in the physical world instead of using ar, it involves qr codes blockchain dystopian society one of the ideas from a typical dystopian world is that people need to rely upon building tribes and developing valuable, non currency based skills resumes don't add value tangible in person skills make one valuable lone wolves are at greater risk than being in a supportive, trusting tribe
