All the crypto stuff already felt like it was doing a big push to move computing power away from general consumers, though may have been unintended.

Another thing is the general impoverishment and decline of productive power that can be papered over by centralizing the output of that production to hide the general decline. I don't think anybody is buying that we are richer than 20 years ago anymore.
