One thing is undisputed: The invention of cryptographic systems is one of the few real innovations in world history.
It has the potential to revolutionize the world of money as we know it today.
But as always with such innovations, a question is asked: is that good or not?
That is not easy to answer because you can only see its consequences after the revolution.
And even then it will be difficult: Was the invention of gunpowder “good”?
Thanks to her, tunnels could be built and mining became less of a chore.
But killing also became easier.
The negative consequences of a possible crypto revolution would arguably be less drastic, but they will nonetheless exist.
To say otherwise would be naive.
But these can only be theorized in advance, even if the arguments on both sides may have substance and plausibility.
In addition, one should not overlook the fact that they are always inseparable, if not with tangible interests, then at least with personal feelings.
Every revolutionary is adamant about the revolution and cannot wait for it.
But not everyone is a revolutionary, and many are more likely to fear an upheaval.
But the earlier, more openly and constructively the consequences of technological upheavals are discussed, the greater the chance of mitigating them and not squandering the potential that an innovation brings with it.
