This talk is titled "Should Wireless Networks Have a Crypto b¡Backbone?" Given that this is ETHBoston, the answer is obviously yes, for several inevitable reasons, as you'll see.
That said, little has changed in 3 decades. Wireless networks, 4G, Wifi, and Bluetooth, have been among the biggest catalysts for the last couple of decades of growth, and there's no sign of that trend slowing down.

But that's all about to change with the coming of age of Decentralized Wireless, or DeWi.
