> To me the crypto anarchists seem a bit like gun enthusiasts in claiming that their passion will allow them to resist a corrupt gobernment or powerful corporations, it just doesn't end up happening. If there is something I can recommend, it is not to define a "subculture", sector or movement by its most extreme outliers. Makes for a pretty bleak outlook on life. > I bet it makes your subculture feel more important than others though. That's how some people think no matter where you look, including startups and VC. I'm just having fun, but I don't feel particularly important. Yeah, thinking there is some good to be done, some meaning in the things you spend time on is part of what makes them fun, but I could find that in a dozen other industries, too.
