And if crypto isn’t going away, we’d better attempt to understand it. But crypto has dug itself into finance, into technology, and into our heads. If you’re a skeptic, this upside-down world is just a modern Ponzi scheme that’s going to end badly-and the recent “crypto winter” is evidence of its long-overdue ending. If you’re a disciple, this new dimension is the future.
There was a moment not so long ago when I thought, “What if I’ve had this crypto thing all wrong?” I’m a doubting normie who, if I’m being honest, hasn’t always understood this alternate universe that’s been percolating and expanding for more than a decade now.
