Umm...the guy said a whole lot of nothing with a lot of words.
Yes, lots of words is what he uses.
But there is an interesting thought on what he calls the Metagame. In other posts, he describes the behaviour of a coyote encountering a group of humans. The coyote stares down the humans with an expression like I do not care for you humans; Im not afraid of you. And puts his nose in the air, turns around and goes away.
The coyote wins this game.
But the humans get together and discuss what they saw. A threatening predator that shows no fear for humans and willing to confront them instead of running away scared at the first sight of humans. The humans vow to hunt this animal so that its numbers are decimated.
The humans win. The humans win the Metagame. The coyote is not able to understand that by winning the individual with his behaviour, it is losing the Metagame.
I guess that is what he tries to ask: how is the cryptocurrency community intending to deal with the humans called king when taking away their claim on societys money? How will it save itself from the wrath of the King?
Youll have to read it all between the lines but I sense that the author understands the tremendous power of of the idea of cryptocurrency. But somehow considers it a lost cause if its community does not come to terms with the King on how to blend in and give the King the Kings due.
Personally, I think the King may have less teeth than envisaged. On the other hand, it does is a force to recon with.
This guy does a lot of deep thinking (with a lot of words to express it

). It stems me positive to see some signs that he may be moving ahead in his thinking about cryptocurrency. We wont make it just with this WO community (sorry guys).
I'm not disagreeing with the guy. Just kept waiting for the metagame portion that you mentioned.
I believe the ideal is that Bitcoin itself is a virus to the king. Slowly consuming until the king (banks) is dead.
Strangely enough, this was discussed in some of our seasteading discussions. We don't want to piss off the puppet masters who actually control things (especially early on). So we may have to put a Citibank on one of the first seasteads as an offering to the gods.
