Blockchain can do many interesting things, but buddy it is not going to end the nation state... I mean a nation state just adopted a crypto currency like... a month ago? I enjoy technology and hate borders but generally I think you're underestimating the nation state.

The thing that keeps the modern nation state together is power and part of the power is capital and if all you're doing is moving capital around in a more efficient way (arguable that blockchain does that) well nation states *like* that sort of thing.

If you would like to eliminate the nation state... may I suggest eliminating capitalism? That seems like a much more likely path towards success then doubling down on "free markets"?

I'm very tired of this conversation tbh. If you want to talk about art world stuff, I'm all for that blockchain convo, but while a technology might be lower-case r revolutionary... nothing about 'currency but we all have the ledger' is capital R revolutionary.

Maybe I need to do a deeper read of this Medium article but honestly... length is not quality and I'm bored at graf 2 so I'm not going to.

But I will note that saying that 'isn't it wild that the internet made Qan*n viral, which is bad, and me viral, which is good' did make me literally laugh out loud at the total lack of self awareness so that's a plus, thanks.
