A panel discussion featuring Rachel-Rose O’Leary, Amir Taaki, Pavol Luptak and more
Not everyone sees cryptocurrencies as a powerful liberalising tool that is unparalleled in our society. A tool that erodes the authoritarian paradigm of states and creates a new decentralised paradigm where the state no longer has a place.
Solarpunkers accept the status quo of authoritarian society and believe in its improvement.
Lunarpunkers, on the other hand, recognize the need for a new decentralized paradigm that transcends the entire social order.
What prospects await solar and lunar punk in the near future?
