Macro.WTF | Putting Crypto in the Broader Macro Context

Cryptocurrencies don't exist in isolation, but rather in the larger world of macroeconomic trends, geopolitical forces, and sociological reality. In this event, we'll examine where crypto lies in the history of monetary theory, what we can learn from macro studies, and how will we influence the macro world.

What are the main macro risks of wide crypto-currency adoption? With fiat currencies this is for example run-away inflation on one hand and too low inflation (zero lower bound) on the other. Does wide crypto-currency adoption worsen the effects of paradox of thrift on economic recessions?
