  • Coordination cost needs to be paid if there isn't a schelling point.
    • Coordination costs are huge.
    • Schelling points make it go from large to ~zero.
    • All it takes is a point everyone can agree is good enough.
      • What counts as good enough changes as more and more others choose to use it.
    • A schelling point can emerge when there's a critical mass of entities who can agree on one point, and as it gets momentum, it pulls in others, too.
