Blockchain’s disruptive potential is omitted solely in yellow publications, and the last company to proclaim its intention to integrate the technology in its services will probably become the stone-age Russian Post. International banks unite under major consortiums, startuppers prowl for opportunities to implement blockchain in yet another app, while venture capitalists headhunt for prospective developers. Five years in four. Long live the distributed labor. Peace to decentralized ledgers.

The cryptocurrency itself thus pales into insignificance as something inconvenient, complex, and market-hostile. The first reason for that might lie in very slow regulation development, and occasional blackmailing and sabotage attempts from prominent members of the community won’t add anything positive to the equation. Mike Hearn, who had reached Washington Post to give vent to his imperial complexes, is but an example of that trend. He was so hot in his rage he even sold all of his bitcoins, while in fact he could perform a more conceptual act by ordering pizza. For more than a week we’ve been hearing bitcoin is bleedin’ demised, so moving back to crooked PayPal and ancient WebMoney is brilliantly rational. Yet another mobbing for bitcoin is underway once again.
