Thanks for that very well formulated post Alex - I was reading MMM’s article on Bitcoin and got more and more irritated with his very superficial understanding of it (tulip mania, etc.), despite his CS / engineering background.
Thanks also for linking to Medium and Andreas Antonopoulos; two very credible source for everyone interested in reading up on Cryptocurrencies, despite their bias.
Another great article describing not only the real use cases of the technology but also destroying the very misleading ‘Cancer Pill’ argument: A Letter to Jamie Dimon
And BTW: Jamie Dimon says he regrets calling Bitcoin a fraud)
