The picture really express a feeling of doom and emptiness - these trees look like dark metal posts and are looking very uniform in a menacing way - like empty eyed, brain washed soldiers - making me feel the stage before the dystopia you describe - a stage where humanity fight among itself by purposeless soldiers led by distant rules that care for their own interests and leading the world to desperation, war and hate - without thinking about the heavy consequences.
The way the trees are composited in the frame makes the message stronger - looking at them, your eye takes you from the nearer part of the picture, where there is still light in the skies, to the distant horizon - dark with heavy cloud getting ready to storm the earth.
This is all might be really scary - but don't worry people! Act - and the blockchain philosophy is about getting the power back to the people and preventing rulers from harming masses of people with foolish decisions- so we are all already in the right way!
Blockchain might change things for the better. If people start accepting it as regular value, we are all way better of. Not only financially but imagine the freedom from everything that is limiting us...
