I appreciate you taking the time to answer, but I don't really see anything concrete there.
I'm really not sure how tokens or 'coins' would/could result in the benefits you mention. Global communications networks certainly have revolutionised global cooperation in ways not before possible. I'm just not seeing the value-add of cryptocurrency here.
> It's not inconceivable that people on this forum could create a game or service that leverages decentralized tokens to accomplish what in the old paradigm would require lots of human and financial capital to achieve
We've had game tokens for quite a bit longer than cryptocurrencies...
I'm sorry, but this reads like a fantasy more than any way in which blockchain technologies could actually enable anything.
