Unless and until we recapture the transcendent dimension of crypto — the deeply political, ideological, and spiritual beliefs that offered a unified vision for a better future — we will never escape stagnation.

I absolutely agree. ‘tech’ alone isn’t enough. It was never about code, coins, or even decentralization.

To me it was a spiritual rebellion against corrupted systems, a global uprising powered by code AND conviction. 

Today’s dominant narratives miss the soul of the movement. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Nostr, Zora, $TOBY these weren’t just protocols. These are manifestos. Crypto was always a belief system and needs to operate like one.
