I just had to re-post this (originally saw this tweeted through counterparty) but my gosh I'm reading this now and it's got to be the BEST and most COHERENT article giving an argument for Bitcoin (both the blockchain and the currency) against those who think that the blockchain and currency can or should be separated. Specifically the argument clarifies why Bitcoin's best feature is the fact that it's an alternative currency and whoever thinks it's best features are the alternative use cases of blockchain as just some kind of glorified ledger or database needs to get their facts right lmao!
Whoever wrote this is genius!
