Gregory Treat uses cryptocurrency concepts — proof of work and token burning — as an extended metaphor to argue that what looks like \"wasted\" wealth in kinship rituals is actually a conversion into social currency on a different ledger.Central to the discussion is the distinction between traders' games (short-term, transactional, frictionless) and farmers' games (long-term, consistent, relationship-based). Gregory argues that modern financialism has tried to convert everything into traders' games, but many of life's most important things — parenting, marriage, elder care, community — only work as farmers' games, sustained by multi-generational family structures.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/n6TouaiOTYoJNoM4lPvqOwAGoEixe8SIYCf76443KF0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jNjBh/MWZkMTYwNWNiM2I2/MzkzZTk0MTBhMWUx/MzE5MS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
