To the end of his life in 2018, Mong was still promulgating a false binary opposition between cryptoanarchy and dystopia.

Victory is here - since May 2005 - its just not evenly distributed yet.
Which is why articles like that Coindesk one I just linked to posit the choice between a quick and dirty simulacrum of crypto-anarchy and the real-deal. 
The possibility of a global police-state just doesn't even register any more.
Not even for frightening slightly retarded, little children.
As some Batshit Crazies are wont.
Welcome to the various iterations of global anarchist victory. Veni Vidi Vici.
