The global community is the major player in crypto — and if global exchange value can now be decoupled from state-issued currencies and assets, while self-selecting and technologically savvy communities can autonomously dictate the terms and method of ideal financial exchange — it’s a revolution. These communities are breeding the most desirable cryptocurrency traits and making bold declarations about how money should be created, exchanged and how anonymous the process should be.

For the first time in history we see the possibility of financial freedom that is not aligned with the interests of sub-states, governments and global cooperatives. This will be the real narrative to watch in the next 10 years.

Moving forward it seems like governments will now only control a crucial piece of the puzzle—access to the Internet. In countries like China, North Korea and Saudi Arabia, this seems simple enough. In countries like England, the United States, and Australia, access to the Internet seems to be have become a fundamental human right.
