I found this a pretty insightful video on how life is set to change in society in the immediate future due to the onset of cryptocurrency. Do take it as only a metaphor - it's the key patterns to look at: the shift to a two stream economy; how the new emergent will relate to the old. He presents a synthetic reality, yes. Which I don't personally believe will look like this. I believe there'll be more expansiveness and freedom that signifies the shift to higher consciousness. But it is nevetheless a useful insight...
