The blockchain industry’s belief in its own inevitability could become a fatal blindspot.

In 1981 Buckminster Fuller presented the notion of a "planetary accounting system that would be integrated with the energy network and facilitate a digital currency denominated in kilowatt-hours, a global currency beyond borders tied directly to the productive capacity of the earth rather than the whim of central bankers"

The fact that 40 years later we're only beginning to adopt a system with some similarities provides a cautionary tale for builders seeking to change the world.
