I remember being interested in the Internet in the early days. I remember being told stories from my grandfather who in turn remembers the early days of radio.
Now I look at Bitcoin and I see a similar thing.
We've been fortunate that the free internet in particular, as travel before it has catalysed these developments such that we have seen a lot more developments in recent years.
These are interesting projects all involving technology.
- can you think of other things that have come along to change society that aren't electronic?
- what is the language of these groups... is there a pattern? Are there words we see in these things that we don't see elsewhere?
I find being in these areas interesting and I tend to gravitate toward them. Never have I had a central role but it's great to say "I was there" later on. For example, what was the hippy movement like when it first started for example? What about steampunk or burning man?
And what do you see that is like this with a potential... but small now in those early stages?
