The #cryptocurrency vision of a future utopia is one where every human interaction is tokenized and recorded on a #blockchain.
This also entails that every human interaction is monetized.
I see money, monetization and financialization as useful for a minority of tasks, if any. It encourages greed and seeing your fellow humans as tools and competitors rather than as siblings, carers, and comrades.
Something desperately missing from the blockchain vision is the acknowledgement of non-monetizable worth, of democratic principles, and of the inherently accumulative natures of both PoW and PoS systems. Of the possibility of cryptographic keys being stolen, of contracts never being fixed documents but things that need to evolve as circumstances change.
