There are some good points made in this article. I often feel like the "crypto-community" is a little too pessimistic about human nature. I think we need to focus more on what the blockchain can do for us and less on what the blockchain can destroy.

This was an excellent read, thank you for sharing.

Remember Aaron Swartz, a 26 year old computer scientist who died defending the free flow of information.

Have I been living under a rock, or do a lot of people not know what a "techno-leviathan" is?    I have never even heard that term before seeing this thread...

I take it he did not read the sequels green mars and blue mars, where they after a grueling war beat the transnationals and founded a much better way of government and built their business-model on the mondragon system.
