Excellent piece of information @hilarski. Just finished a book called "Digital Gold: Bitcoin and the Inside Story of the Misfits and Millionaires Trying to Reinvent Money," by Nathaniel Popper. Your article is a perfect follow-up to the book and I highly recommend giving it a read if you are new to the Blockchain, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, or Steemit.
Check this out @quantumanomaly!
