Speaking of economic views, I think that people tend to overlook the most fundamental part of the Blockchain based currency phenomenon today. While the technology is great, it tends to overshadow the fundamental observation that these cryptocurrencies are first and foremost currencies and then afterwards technologies. Perhaps Hacker News is not the place to have such a view, but it ought to be stated. There is a lot of misinformation out there and a lot of excitement, we ought to continually remind ourselves of this truth. These currencies and their intrinsic value are subject to the same rules of all regular currencies: supply and demand. Do people believe that these are valuable or not? The economic view trumps the technological view at the end of the day. http://benshieldsblog-blog.tumblr.com/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/18R6MTugMCZaL1A8b0gj_9F_E...
