Being a blockchain fan last year was a bit like having a friend who suddenly became famous. Promptly things that had been discussed in enthusiastic small groups were being dissected in shouty headlines from editorial pieces. The conversation was conducted in crude terms with like “Head of bank declares blockchain immoral” or “Blockchain is going to completely destroy the economy”. A concept we’ve cared about for a long time was being discussed loudly, with little regard. In some ways it was amazing to see the world catch onto a phenomenal idea, in others frustrating to see it misreported in so many places.
