“Crypto” is a loaded term, one that is both beatified and vilified.
As a concept, crypto is carelessly batted around in conversation and in the media. New DAO governance structures threaten to overthrow corporate hierarchies. The trappings of scientific and technical “white papers” add to crypto’s already intimidating reputation.
However, insiders quietly discuss crypto’s potential – for good, for innovation, for wealth creation, for communication, and for destroying ingrained social wrongs.
Positioned as it is within this heavy criticism and this weighty hopefulness, crypto feels off-limits to most folks. However, looking deeper into the crypto and web3 world, there is a profound example of the commonality of human experience. There is joy, optimism, intrigue, shenanigans, scheming, and deception that can be understood without knowing binary code or day-trading schematics. In truth, the crypto-world is equal parts human interest story, technical and social revolution, and financial disruption.
There is no doubt that the crypto-industry is young, flawed, unregulated, and rife with get-rich-quick-schemes, freely flowing VC money, and modern-day pirates. There is also no doubt that real-world problems will be solved with this technology and by the colorful people with unlimited imaginations that run it. With the advent of cryptocurrency, we are witnessing the birth of an entirely new industry.
This is big business, big gossip, and it’s all happening right under your nose. This crazy alternate dimension is creating your future whether you want it to or not… but it doesn’t have to be scary.
Crypto is entertainment!
