Reactionism is a natural opposition to every revolution. Just imagine Ned Ludd and his movement. They tought that new tech was undermining workers and society but actually it was making so many things easier. The same way I see nowadays bankers and those opposed to the cryptos - they are not aware of the fact that cryptos are going to make our financial composition much much faster, safer and private, above all making it a pillar of a new world freedom not "order". Like posts like this, I upvoted.
Edit: they are aware, that's the main reason why cryptos are still marginalized as a safe way of conducting financial relations. They would rather take transaction fees and interest than make a world a better place.
The freedoms allowed can be much deeper than simple economic freedoms. Take a look at my TL comment, futarchy is interesting.
Economy has becomed the basis of human being , and it's in that position for a very long time, evolutioned through centuries of human development. Every time something big happened in the human history you can most certainly connect it with - money. Wars, battles, peace, architectural wonders or successful merchant republics? Art? Philosophy? French revoltion? Well, I'm sure everyone knows that. But making money flow through civic relations more freely is something new and revolutionary. Finally we are on a doorstep of having an financially uncontrolled or part-controlled society which will be having many benefits for civilization if accompanied by a humanistic cause. :)
I don't disagree, I am not discrediting the influence of money. I believe there is more to the picture.
