Everything cryptocurrency purports to solve has been "technically" solved, but
it'll become indispensable because of the elusive idea of
[post scarcity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity_economy).

The perceived ownership of this message and the surrounding content (my blog)
can be trivially duplicated a million times over at little to no cost by anyone.

I don't care about that, but I guarantee you that a lot of other people do.
Cryptocurrency brings scarcity to a post scarcity (digital) world. This is
something that people desperately want.
