When you discovered the iPhone - did you think that people were going back to using Blackberries?
When you discovered Uber - did you think people were going to instead hail cabs and get jipped by a**hole Taxi drivers?
When you discovered Social Media - did you think people were going to ditch the internet thing and go back to writing each other letters instead?
When you discovered self-sovereignty - did you think people would instead prefer to submit to a set of rules that work against them? Within a rigged game?
Our laws of governance were created and evolved during times of chaos. People couldn't organize and couldn't agree with one another. Few had access to education and information was withheld to enforce power. Brute force had to be used to establish legitimacy.
None of our previous thousands of years of existence could leverage the network consensus mechanisms that the internet provides the collective. Imo this is bigger than currencies - it's about establishing a framework for governance using game-theory to coordinate behavior.
Idk man... from my own short-lived experience I have discrete examples of disruptive technology changing the game in an overall net positive way.
I'll take my magic internet beans and wait until the equilibrium line shifts - for now I'm happy being the crazy hopeful outlier.
