I'm with you. The post you're replying to seems like hype word salad to me. E.g., the big-bank experimentation with blockchains I've seen has nothing to do with cryptocurrency; they're just looking at reliable distributed recordkeeping.

Making stocks more liquid early on is the last things startups want; if they effectively become publicly traded, the SEC is going to push for a great deal of transparency that will be at least expensive and possibly harmful.
