Crypto is a great technology, sadly, as every other existing financial technology it attracts scammers. However the unregulated and accessible nature of crypto opened a window for the common people into mechanisms ruling their lives, so now everyone can learn about the world.
Ironically very accurate for an en vogue theory of how autism occurs.
Babies are born with many more neural connections than most adults have. The learning process appears to include a "winnowing" process. OTOH, autistic individuals appear to have a larger number of neural connections, which suggests that they did in fact "not converge" (or not weed out excessive connections that distract from more productive decision-making).
It goes both ways, because AI reduces persuasion cost, not only elites can do it. I think its most plausible that in the future there will be multitudes of propaganda bots aimed at any user, like advanced and hyper-personalized ads.
I think it's a fundemental misunderstanding of value. Things are useful regardless of their price, the price is speculative but if there is a cost producing something (from earth, the mind or AI) the price will not be zero. Scarcity is the basis of value only for things that have no other utility and cost, for example some crypto made just for pump and dump.
