The picture really express a feeling of doom and emptiness - these trees look like dark metal posts and are looking very uniform in a menacing way - like empty eyed, brain washed soldiers - making me feel the stage before the dystopia you describe - a stage where humanity fight among itself by purposeless soldiers led by distant rules that care for their own interests and leading the world to desperation, war and hate - without thinking about the heavy consequences.
The way the trees are composited in the frame makes the message stronger - looking at them, your eye takes you from the nearer part of the picture, where there is still light in the skies, to the distant horizon - dark with heavy cloud getting ready to storm the earth.

This is all might be really scary - but don't worry people! Act - and the blockchain philosophy is about getting the power back to the people and preventing rulers from harming masses of people with foolish decisions- so we are all already in the right way!
