It's not just financial geekery, it's a complete re-configuring of our society including the dissolution of the state. Combating the eco destruction wrought by entities like the US government is a big piece of the puzzle.

I don't see the dissolution of the state happening due to cryptocurrency, nor would I welcome it.

(further, adding a new mid-sized country to the energy map is not a great way to go about righting ecological wrongs.)

I do see the dissolution of the state as the end game for crypto, which also happens to align with my philosophy.
