Unfortunately I'm just a pessimist. World history has generally sucked. Crypto isn't going to make the past smell any better then what the fuck-tards in charge have done with this earth. Decentralization is great and I love the idea of it; but you mentioned greed and power. There's people just born that way and they will suck on anyone or anything's teet until they consolidate power and take from others to keep themselves propped up.
I would rather you be right (for the record)
