Many, or most, of the speculative technologies we have discussed will come about in some way; it will take longer than some people expect, but maybe not long enough (in some cases) for social and cultural factors to keep pace with the new developments.
Yeah, I mean if you told me, 7 years ago that I will be everyday commuting around Institute of Cryptoanarchy. Organisation with stated mission is to introduce disruptive technologies like 3D printing and cryptocurrency. I would laugh to you face.
And to be honest I probably would now as well if I didn't know it was true. I mean come on... Institute of Cryptoanarchy? Thats like from bad movie ripoff of Cryptonomicon.
