Great read.
There's definitely more than just trading and profit for crypto, and to me, the real game changers here are blockchain, DAOs, and smart contracts.
I see the financial system evolving into a more descentralized model, with banks losing a lot of power, along with governments, with people taking some of the power back.
Plenty of us are slowly realizing that governments are not your friends, and we need some degree of self reliance but also cooperation, if we want to change the current state of things.
