Its a walled garden. Cryptocurrency is federal, nation level politics. Many people have been beaten up over currency. It is a massive power to be able to force the the rest of the world to use your money for international trade and only you have the right to print that money.

Talk of the "post dollar world" and the "cashless society" has been going on for more than a decade.
There was a time when if you said people would wear tracking chips you'd be labeled a kook. Today people willingly carry smart phones connected to social networks.
The disruption is similar in both cases. The result is predictable. The goals have already been stated at Davos.
