The #blockchain bandwagon is full of shit.
However the last sentence of your quote is plain wrong: since Neolitic, technology is the most powerful political force influencing history.
Iron, wheel, sail, writing, printing, general purpose processors, internet, statistical programming (what rich's propaganda call #AI)...
They shape what we can do and think, and the cap the complexity of our social organizations.
Those who understand this usually try to take control of technology to perpetuate their oppressive system.
Think about hieroglyphs in Ancient Egypt or about #Copyright (Statute of Anna) in 1700.
Few (very few) try to democratize technology by spreading the cultural means of its productions.

That's why #
hackers scares so much the rich.
We hold the means of production strongly anchored on our neck!
And we know how to use them!
And we want to!
The problem is that the majority of people simply do not yet understand what a powerful politic force is #
technology.
Most argue that "a tool is a tool" despite the obvious evidence that if you build a weapon, you build it to kill.
So, back to us, the #
blockchain si bullshit. #
NTF and all #
cryptocurrency are large-scale math-washed scam factories.
But they do NOT represent technology as a whole.
They represent the failure of "free market" and #
capitalism.
