Excellent, I can't wait for accellerated climate change & global warming from even more mining! /s
This seems like fanboyism and marketing. Crypto around for 9-10 years now and I haven't seen it change anything in the world for the better. I worked for exchanges and worked on multiple crypto projects, but due to the nature of the cryptocurrency community being extremely toxic, I could no longer handle the death threats and pulled out of crypto entirely. Feel free to name something that it's changed. What do you think it's going to change and how?
For one thing, it's much easier to buy drugs on the internet now. People can use it to skirt capital controls. It may have some uses in money laundering. You can gamble with crypto much more easily than with a credit card. These may or may not be positive things, depending on your point of view, but they are things that have changed.
As I said, I think mining will be replaced with new, yet to be developed technologies.
Random example of what will change: Autonomous companies. Remember the DAO? That was a first glimpse of the future. As an investor, you put money in via a crypto transaction and then you have voting power over the actions of the company.
