A recent report by Fidelity Investments proposes valuing blockchains on the basis of GDP: “… it is more appropriate to compare decentralized blockchains to sovereign nations and their economies rather than web2 companies or products because of the embedded currency.” Here’s the GDP formula: C + I + G + (X-M) C is consumption, I is business investment, G is government spending, X is exports and M is imports, so X-M is net exports.
