Technology plays a pivotal role in shaping societal dynamics, often driving intense polarization represented by factions like 'blue team' and 'red team'. The early internet era showcased both beneficial innovations and challenges sparked by rapid growth. The evolution of tech, including cryptocurrencies, exemplifies the ongoing debate surrounding its impact. Advocates of tech must be mindful of both its potential as a force for good and its capacity to exacerbate division.
