The one I called 16 years back. Anarchist. Like the net at its best. Cypherpunks 96 to 2004.
Cryptoanarchist triumph even appeared in the Grauniad 2010 - though details were wrong.
A crypto economy was developing. By late 2017 it was hard to ignore. The NYT s Krugman reportedly called it.
Like some next economic superpower. Okay boomer. Whatever.
The real kicker came with Hollywood endorsement and the crypto decider election.
Harpers "cryptoanarchist triumph". William Gibsons "victory is here".
Now freedoms untidy - but thats to be expected. Why our reinforcements from the future arrived unfasionably early. They can fill you in - albeit not quite perfectly just yet.
Political economy evolved. Hope you came along with it.
