The more I learn about open-source, permission-less, and trust-less software design, the more a certain set of people annoy me. Namely, those that claim to be or aspire toward being “systems-thinkers” while dismissing crypto as a whole but BTC in particular.
In the american context, these same people will bitch and moan about the dysfunction of our politics/government but remain ignorant of the ways that such systems build and verify consensus, and in an anonymized way. Imagine if those same concepts around consensus could be applied to the enfeebled democracy we see today.
Just off the top of my head, there would be much less room for claims of fraudulent election results…
