Corey Doctorow should be into crypto.

Napster was Corey's ideal type of peer-to-peer network.
Ethereum is not because: Money = Bad.

Napster failed.
Ethereum is still with us and the Foundation just dropped a manifesto that has distinct echoes of 'Cluetrain' about it (and ticked off the exact crypto bros Corey defines as "all of crypto")

When you decide to lock up your thinking with ideology you miss a lot stuff.
