I'm on peripherally involved with crypto-currencies, and I don't have the know-how or the interest in getting the know-how to get deep into the coding implications. My favorite level of technology is making fire with sticks, but I have more tech savvy than the average person. What I see, as someone who's not really interested in the nitty-gritty of crypto-currency, is that a lot of projects involving crypto-currencies are based on a gift-economy. For instance, Dev Tome licenses its content under CC BY-SA, but all the writers are getting paid. There's an inherent philosophy of trust, and that if you give freely it will come back to you, even in the anarcho-capitalist models. I think its encouraging, and it appears to be gaining momentum.
