# Civil # Civil
## Lore
- the board
- the podcast
- the token sale and the crash
- the surviving newsrooms, eg Colorado Sun and Brick House
## Lessons
**Design a cryptoeconomic protocol around, not against, human decisions and values.** Civil's token-curated registry was not crypto all the way down; it was a prediction market ultimately accountable to the Civil Council, a group of values-centered humans. It is an example of how to use cryptoeconomic systems to amplify, rather than suppress, human values.
**If all else fails, fund public goods.** Civil itself did not succeed long-term, but its investments in newsrooms seeded several important projects that have survived.
