I haven't looked at the book, but the author is, a bit. Here's a somewhat banana-pants talk he recently gave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyK4P7ZdOK8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyK4P7ZdOK8

- AlexCoventry 9y agoI'm a cryptocurrency enthusiast myself. To be more precise, the talk is ignorant of the history of money as a system of domination, and utopian in that it ignores critical vulnerabilities intrinsic to distributed-consensus currency systems.
