Crypto has lost its raison d'être in recent years. While the crypto industry has grown a lot in valuation, number of projects and builder count the dominating narratives are driven by superficial short term speculative sentiments appealing to greed.
In my talk, I'll take the audience on a Time Machine reviewing the brief history of computing, the internet and what has been done in crypto as of today, we'll touch on where we are today, lay out the crossroads we're staring at and propose the different paths we can take as a community:
Dystopian casino 24/7/365 - This is the path we're currently on
Hyper regulated granular tokenized surveillance - the Centralized Blockchain Way
Back to cypherpunk roots: Empowerment of the sovereign individual in the era where free markets tokenization unlocks value in every imaginable domain. Including completely new compute modalities with space exploration.
*The talk will has some interactive parts to it.
