The end-game.

For me it’s all the fear and uncertainty of the complexity that emerges from millions of monkeys building pieces of their own personal visions for a “decentralized future”. Just like any new tool at our disposal it can be used for the subjective “good” or “bad”. However with blockchains we’ve now added the consequences of “unintended” and “unstoppable”.
