The Church of Infinite Tokens
When everything is money, nothing is value.
In a gleaming, cathedral-sized crypto exchange, Kraken’s Mark Greenberg stands at a pulpit labeled “TOKENIZATION,” preaching to a packed congregation of anxious investors. Instead of religious icons, the stained-glass windows depict houses, kidneys, water, votes, carbon credits, and even a beating heart—all stamped with QR codes and price charts. A giant banner over the altar reads, “NOW YOU CAN TRADE, SAVE & SPEND… LITERALLY ANYTHING.” In the front pews, a landlord taps an app to tokenize a tenant’s rent debt; a politician quietly mints “VOTE TOKENS” on a tablet; and a school principal clutches a tray of “EDUCATION CREDITS” chips. In the far corner, a janitor presses a button on his phone labeled “TOKENIZE PAYCHECK,” and the app politely replies, “INSUFFICIENT LIFETIME REMAINING.”
