Truly, the reason I got into blockchain was for all the huge lefty potential.... and I find it super upsetting that its got a (well deserved) reputation for being scammy. Did YV write a fiction book with characters and a story, or is it more a potential future vision?

From what I've seen it described its a speculative fiction book about what his post capitalist world would look like, here's good interview hes anti crypto for replacing dollar( but on economic grounds mainly) but seems generally pro nft metaverse daos and blockchain https://the-crypto-syllabus.com/yanis-varoufakis-on-techno-feudalism/

Have you read it? I’m not really seeing a way of getting to a world where capitalism is removed, but NFT/DAO/Metaverse still exist

Sooo I have the book and the jist of it is a character from our world open basically a portal to an alternate universe version of our world where everything was the same, up until the 2008 financial crisis wherein a bunch of ‘crypto anarchists/communist market manipulators’ strategical crash the capitalist’s mode of production via the stock market. The rest of the book dives into how in the year I think it was 2020/25ish the world works and it’s basically cooperatives galore and anarcho-syndicates of coops governing global production at the top level

I also just read the entire article and since it’s a little dated, it’s interesting to see where he’s already been proven right or wrong (biggest one I noticed was him saying that Bitcoin wouldn’t help the people of El Salvador, it would be a burden on stores to take it, and that money would not flow into the country because it didn’t have low tax burden like Puerto Rico)
