Bribery didn’t stop the Bronze Age from collapsing. In fact, the shift to the Iron Age wasn’t a smooth, premeditated transition. So you could say that crypto is not the iron age, but it could be a new way of smelting. but it hasn’t yet forged the powerful new age it promises because it hasn’t yet created the vehicle—the infrastructure, the societal buy-in, or the tools—that would allow it to reshape the world in a truly transformative way

So what most cryptos trying to do is to smelt ironed stuff that looks like Bronze Age stuff. For example, many cryptos claim to be revolutionary, yet they still rely on speculative trading, centralized exchanges, and wealth concentration in the hands of a few early adopters—essentially replicating the inequalities and manipulations of traditional financial systems. They aren’t forging something fundamentally new; instead, they’re dressing up old power dynamics in modern technology.
