# Crypto-inevitablism
|
||
The prefiguragative political ideology which is centred around a core faith that [crypto assets](cryptoasset.md) and their associated technologies and culture have some pre-ordained to destiny on the scale of human history detached from their efficacy for one use case or problem to solve. It is the presupposition that crypto assets are simply *inevitable* and must be brought into existence to fulfil a, perhaps unspecified, destiny.
