I see it more like people going back to do what they love, living a peaceful life and releasing all creativity - earning and spending in Bitcoin, and only for those things they actually need.
Many businesses would be obsolete because people have time to learn real skills and stack knowledge themselves; and things would be done mostly by p2p, with people you know and trust.
Governments slowly obsolete too.
I do like the sound of that.
Especially with more and more of the world's products being possible to be made by fewer people. I like to think that P2P means more craftsmanship and quality, even if not necessarily hand-made. Allows them to be custom-made to individual tastes and personalities too.
2 quotes from the Diamond Age come to mind:
Technology had made nearly anything possible, and so the cultural role in deciding what should be done with it had become far more important than imagining what could be done with it.
Hand art demanded commitment from the artist. It could only be done once, and if you screwed it up, you had to live with the consequences.
albeit still foreseeing a fickle mass consumer market:
The people here...were all working on mass-market consumer products, which by and large were not very demanding. They worked in symbiosis with big software that handled repetitive aspects of the products. It was a fast way to design products, which was essential when going after the fickle and impressionable consumer market.
Every engineer in the hall, designing those toasters and hair dryers, wishes he could have his job in "Bespoke", where...no atom was wasted and every subsystem was designed specifically for the task at hand.
