The defining feature of tech progress in the last 50 years has been the integrated circuit, PC, and internet embodied in mobiles and drones. These technologies enable imperial power, fulfilling tyrants' dreams, but also embody oligarchs' fantasies of eugenics.

The most potent enemy of centralization is Bitcoin, as it eliminates the trust problem and imperator role. Bitcoin supports a transition to a kingless society and eliminates banking power. This arc of history began with cryptography in the 17th century, leading to decentralization and privacy. With Bitcoin, decentralization has reached its highest form of resistance.

The last two years showed the peak of old networks' power. The only tech innovations now are decentralization and privacy, offering the potential to eliminate violence, deception, and coercion. These will dictate future power and wealth flow, flattening human society and allowing the one with most centralization resistance and privacy to rise as the new nobility.
