I think making tools for transparency of financial information with privacy for the individuals is very beneficial to our democracies.
and I think tools that help people coordinate/unionise/collectivise around shared interests is good for all of us who are working people.
we dont have to be totally cynical and an accelerationist to believe there are flaws with government and money. I dont think the western democracies are collapsing, i feel like i have decent representation where i live. But i think things could be done better, ive also witnessed massive wastes of resources in local government, corruption and collusion.
I dont think the systems we've inherited from pre-electricity society are going to be the absolute best we can ever come up with. this is hackernews, where people praise saas startups and hobbies and research on new gpus. but damn you if you think we can come up with better money or government.
I think people are just skeptical of the intentions of those of us working in the space (which is sensible) because of the money and the memes and the absurdity of the energy around the crypto space. but i dont understand why people are so doom and gloom about it, 99.9% of the people involved arent living in a bunker waiting for the collapse of society, generally the eth devs ive met are very positive and optimistic and like you say, believe we deserve better.
