What I Learned About Crypto’s Future From Basecamp and FWBFest

In
the
mountains
of
Idyllwild,
CA,
a
convergence
of
technologists,
artists,
and
optimists
surrendered
themselves
to
the
future.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
spend
two
recent
days
at

Basecamp,
Base’s
summer
retreat,
followed
by
two
more
at

FWB
FEST
(Friends
With
Benefits’
annual
gathering),
where
around
1,000
attendees
enjoyed
music,
art,
and
ideas
while
exploring
the
frontiers
of
on-chain
technology
and
culture.
These
experiences
provided
me
with
insights
about
the
future
of
blockchains.
Here
are
my
six
key
takeaways.
