The Future of Computational Currency: Why Notebooks Matter 🚀
- Executable Knowledge: Unlike traditional digital assets, notebooks contain actual, runnable solutions
- Practical Utility: Each notebook solves real-world problems
- Verifiable Output: Results can be validated and reproduced
- Composable Wealth: Notebooks can be combined to create more valuable solutions
- Supply & Demand
- Limited supply of high-quality solutions
- Growing demand for automated data processing
- Network effect of collaborative improvements
- Value Storage
- Notebooks don't depreciate like traditional code
- Can appreciate as they're refined and validated
- Community contributions increase worth
