The new tech makes new ways of trusting each other possible (and actually old ways that the state and big tech, by accident or design, have strongly discouraged, or even eliminated). I think new protocols, even those seemingly in competition with each other, need to become ubiquitous enough to change behaviour en masse. That's where we win. The protocols themselves are simultaneously so important, yet not important at all. The behaviour change is what I look forward to - which is dependant on the underlying tech being there, but also doesn't respect it at all.
