I saw him in person in london and he was asked about Bitcoin. As the last sentence of his answer he said and I’m paraphrasing: “If you’re asking about the idea of apolitical money [in relation to Bitcoin] I think that’s a fantasy”. I’ll try and see if he ever said something similar in other settings but I remember connecting it to what I was reading around the same time which was David Graeber’s Debt: a History book where he presents a similar anthropological-historical argument.
