Humanity and society have not changed, nor will humaneness in the figurative sense get the upper hand, because of cryptocurrencies.

They have become a tool by which a different group tries to achieve the same status and wealth as the current big fiat holders, in the same amoral way, without any thought of consequences to others.

Maybe cryptocurrencies could have been a force for the good, or at least the different, but our being humans got in the way. No cultural reset or even change will be forthcoming; we're still carpet bombing from great height while looking up all the time.

After all, we're only human, and the code allows it.
