It’s not just speculation. It’s experimentation as well. The crypto community has been really playful in how they use and define money. There are wuite a few lessons that we have learned as a society that otherwise wouldn’t be so salient.
Things like:
What is trust?
Should we put our trust in technology instead of people?
Can we build a blockchain vm?
Can you censor blockchain technology? Or will people find ways around it?
Bitcoin will always hold some lower bound value, because there will always be 2.1 million willing to use $10 to see what happens.
Governments aren’t playful, people are. Playfulness can lead to recklessness and pain. It can also lead to artistic expression and innovation. IMO with cryptocurrencies, you see both.
