The Event

The ubiquity of blockchain technology in the future is inevitable, as governments and central banks worldwide actively develop their implementations. These efforts seek to exert unprecedented control and surveillance over individuals’ financial activities, aligning with the concerning trends elucidated in Yanis Varoufakis’s book “Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism.”

Beyond the solutions presented in the book, it is imperative for us to delve into the profound impact of blockchain technology on our lives and explore its potential. Embracing cryptocurrencies emerges as a potent countermeasure, offering a decentralized financial framework that challenges prevailing power dynamics. Integrating crypto into our movement’s financial discourse has the potential to charts a course toward a more equitable and transparent financial future.

Let’s engage in a dialogue about the significance of adopting these technologies and how they could serve as a viable alternative.
