Dystopian va Utopian crypto visions.

This essay floating around today is super interesting to me from the standpoint of crypto’s interesting tension between Utopianism and assumptions of inevitable dystopia.

So instead of speculating, a couple polls 👇

First, do you believe that it is inevitable that state-backed currencies fail?
Second, do you believe that the nation-state system itself is doomed to fail?
Third, do you think the failure of state-backed money or nation states themselves is *required* for the success of cryptocurrencies?
Fourth, are you interested in money applications of crypto only, or also non-money applications like DAOs?
Fifth, would you characterize the future you *believe* (not want, but believe) will come to pass as dystopian, utopian, or TBD?
