What a crock. This is why Medium, as a news source sucks. Literally anyone can say literally anything.

Im no bitcoin fanboy either. Bail out, leave the bankers with the bill as revenge for 2008.

It was the wrong application of a brilliant idea - a democratically-distributed, obifuscated DNS replacement for secured communications like TOR seems more applicable than the whims of an unregulated currency.

But this author doesnt see food-sourcing happening. This author doesn't see banks adapting the blockchain for their own internal uses to protect sensitive info. Or anything else you might find in google.

Medium isn't a news source, any more than, say, blogspot or LiveJournal is.
