The bitcoin dream is a permissionless, decentralized currency immunized from predation by encryption where trusting anyone is unnecessary. These systems are anathema to the bitcoin dream and they have little kinship to bitcoin apart from using a blockchain and a method of encryption. This could be the outcome for crypto, the decentralized dream killed by constant attacks on the ecosystem by lawlessness and unchecked criminals. Subsequently as the political struggles rolls on, the future will have permissionless, decentralized cryptocurrencies in it, and these currencies should do well. So I’m owning bitcoin, monero, dogecoin and many other minable coins and awaiting the outcomes of the never-ending dramas ahead.
