This document outlines an activity called a "Speculative Co-Refactoring Workshop" which involves collaboratively exploring the history and potential future of cryptocurrency. The workshop involves participants generating observations of past cryptocurrency-related events, developing hypotheses to connect events, creating speculative scenarios, and presenting crazy extrapolations. As an example, the document briefly describes elections in Sierra Leone where a group had independent access to polling stations allegedly using blockchain technology, with no impact on the official election procedures.

Agora had ‘international observer’ access to 250
polling stations in the Western Area of Sierra
Leone (out of the approximately 11,200 in total,
i.e. two percent of all polling stations), and
counted the results independently, allegedly using
blockchain technology. This involvement had no
impact on the standard election procedures of the
NEC, in any manner.
