Not cryptocurrencies, just BTC. The dystopian thing to do would be not to seek the decentralized route which he is trying to, at least in a part with BTC. Not sure how that qualifies as dystopian.
- danpalmer 5y agoAlso NFTs. Cryptocurrencies claim to empower via decentralisation, but in reality they simply change the power structures from legal-based to capital-based power structures, and removing legal challenges that could be levelled at corporations in favour of "proofs" that have no moral leeway. I believe they are a strongly dystopian concept masquerading as a utopian opportunity.
- ea550ff70a 5y agoSure, I can see that argument too. You should recognize tho, that our current "legal-based" structure (at least in the West) is built on top of a "capital-based" power structure in where money buys power (by donations, special interest, lobbying, etc...) and this structure is highly centralized and only accesible to the wealthy. I dig BTC and not necessarily NFTs or other ones as much but I rather have systems get decentralized (even if with a capital-based structure) while giving everyone an opportunity to truly participate rather than continue on the current corrupt structure that is beyond repair and only benefit a few.
