What Hacker News says
- There's nothing new in this. US had always been there, operating at a grand, global scale. The only difference is that its allies wilfully subjugated themselves to the US. Read the book 'Underground Empire'.
- Underground Empire by Henry Farrell.
- > "Crypto had attracted grifters from the beginning, even though its most respected figures were more interested in changing the world. As Silicon Valley investors piled in after them, they wanted to fund companies that would become essential to the crypto economy, allowing them to make vast amounts of money. Entrepreneur after entrepreneur discovered that the best way to turn a profit in a decentralized economy was to figure out ways to centralize parts of it again." (Henry Farrell, Underground Empire)
