He's a little late isn't he?
As little of five years ago tech had a lot more goodwill than it does now. In democratic societies we techies probably have more of an uphill battle than others, because the few of us in charge of companies cannot behave properly
- avmich 8y agoSatoshi Nakamoto isn't known as a CEO of a powerful corporation, but his work had quite an influence over last ~10 years. We can do something similar. Remember, say, how Skype was created? Or WhatsApp? Or Paxos? BitTorrent?

Some financial and other organizations considered and, I believe, at some point deployed systems modeled on Bitcoin technology. Maybe that's not enough to consider it "real world impact", but I suspect more than one person's life was noticeably affected by using Bitcoins.
