This graph begs to ask for more ways to understand the promise of blockchain / crypto:
How much greater of an exponential growth in wealth has been locked up in financial systems bottlenecked or smothered by centralizing and reactionary authorities?
What will happen to world GDP when secure & globally distributed free exchange of value is unlocked by byzantine consensus & related cryptoeconomic tech?
What are the societal implications of this unprecedented shift in power and influence?
What does this all imply for where crypto markets are headed over the next few months and years?
