Since working at Augur in 2017 I've been talking my wife's ear off about decentralization, crypto philosophy etc.

This is one of the only pieces I've actually sent her to read.

Her PhD deals with how narrative is real in that it impacts the world. I wonder what she'll think of the version of the future you hint at.
