As time goes on, the ever-evolving nature of the predictions about how crypto will change the world for the better keeps looking more and more like the ever-evolving nature of the predictions we were seeing 50 years ago about how the space aliens were going to come along and change the world for the better. Granted, crypto has a bit of an advantage over the space aliens in the race to realize a transformative impact on the world, by virtue of the fact that it actually exists. That's not the parallel I'm trying to draw here. It's more... it seems that they're both a situation where people are really just attached to this one amorphous romantic idea, and the specifics really don't matter at all. Meaning they can be freely reconfigured, at will and without much limit, in order to ensure we're always talking about something that's off in the future rather than something we might expect to happen now, let alone in the past. Which, something like that is absolutely perfect fodder for daydreaming. So then I ask myself, "Is kicking a ball through it a core part of the plan, or is this goalpost really just a thing that's fun to move around?" Perhaps my problem is that there's not really any romance in my soul.
