The power struggle between central governments and technological oligarchies is becoming increasingly apparent. Against the latter, governments still maintain a monopoly on legislation. When this proves insufficient (there was no legal basis to order Apple or Google to ban VPN downloads), it ultimately results in the intimidation of citizens.

For years, I've dreamed of a connected system that gives power back to creators, moves away from centralized control, and uses Bitcoin for transactions. Watching it become reality is as exciting as when I first read Antonopoulos's work. 🧡
