I was a crypto-skeptic for a few years, I ended up working on a crypto project that failed - but the experience didn't leave me anti ... I simply think there are some flaws in the block-chain (like speed of clearing small, fractional coin transactions while a token or coin is suffering price volatility, etc). Any who - I kind of wish I could link up with some serious crypto folks who are also anarchists ... sadly, I've met as many statist crypto people as not, and this feeds my crypto skepticism. Happy Friday.
