Cryptocurrency is more likely to become a powerful tool to the rich and powerful with even less accountability than there is now than it is to become an incredible boon to the "average person." There's a difference between distributed and decentralized. Money and power can buy a lot of the distribution.

Inflation or inflationary policies? Places to park money that are better than bits or gold have existed for a long time.

Surveillance? An indelible ledger has its downsides here.

Technology is more often a magnifier of existing human dynamics rather than a qualitative change. Especially one that seeks to replace existing tech. If you think it's going to produce a fundamental change, why is this different?

I think it's the new sales pitch for pyramid schemes: "Buy and hodl, and together we'll fight the machine!"

Well, we'll need a lot of help from the likes of Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, but it's totally all about helping the little guy.

Cool story bro!

If you don't agree that's fine. Don't buy. If other people buy and have a different opinion it doesn't hurt you at all.
