I happened to notice the inclusion of "blockchain" in the destination domain name...so got the clue before clicking through. But I don't even think this piece focuses much on cryptocurrency anyway...its more about the hazards of centralization/decentralization with respect to protocols and platforms that host services using said protocols. Don't get me wrong, i actually really liked the article...but a discussion on cryptography or crypto-currency its not.

In one of Neil Stephenson's books he mentions that in the 19th ( ? ) century, people who performed (manual) calculation where called "computers".
