Nice piece, Thanks!
As an old code cutter finally diving into Blockchain I can see great promise in crypto-currencies & Blockchain technology. It is my view that it has the potential to fix many of the issues & inequalities Capitalism has imposed on We the People.
Mainly because banks and governments & regulators cannot really control a true Blockchain especially if it runs on say the Tor network.
As I learn more about all this it is very encouraging in that it is a way out of the totalitarian BS that the "Owners" of this country are trying to make us swallow.
