Thanks for the insight, Luke! As you know, I completely share your perspective in that context and left Europe for exactly this reason.
In the middle of the rush, many people have lost their susceptibility to things that really make life worth living.
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are meant to bring back self-control to our own lives. So theoretically they will provide us with tools that help us to spend our resources more wisely - and especially to spend them for our own benefit and not the benefit of others.
As long as we're aware, we still have the control.
Enjoy your day, well at your place the night though :-)
