Before terms like ‘decentralization,’ ‘trustless technology,’ and ‘cryptocurrency’ became part of the international zeitgeist, blockchain and Bitcoin were fringe concepts, obsessed over by technologists, futurists, early adopters, and admittedly some darker corners of the web.
Those with imagination were the first who saw beyond Bitcoin to the full-scale disruptive potential of distributed networks akin to the Internet in their power to democratize, return power to individuals and shift paradigms with the power of the crowd.
