Short-sighted is right. What happens when the "billions" invested in the latest tech-bro scheme become worthless due to the inflation caused by building the economy on digital hot air? Whatever happened to making quality products that people actually want and selling them at a reasonable (or at least justifiable) price? That's why despite all of the enthusiasm and promise of cryptocurrency it is bound to fail as well -- it's not real. I guess if the whole world enters the Matrix then the idea of a digitally bound utopia will pay off (at least, for the technocrats).
