Can't get to link. At least, not without disabling ad blockers.

It seems foolish to me, (a little odd too), that Hearn proclaimed the demise of bitcoin in his article.
In ways, it allows people to respond by simply saying -- but look, it's not dead -- without directly addressing his complaints.

I got through (w. uBlock origin) but it wants email address after looking at a couple of pages

I think all it would take to kill bitcoin was two major exchanges getting hacked and looted in quick succession to start a run on the 'bank.' With no fallback or account holder insurance, it'd be gone.
No doubt something similar would take its place down the road. But bitcoin - as Bitcoin - is far from an unsinkable ship.
I think it is mainly managed to survive because it's been found useful to the very people who have the capability to take it down. Not because of anything specifically magical or charmed about Bitcoin itself. Which makes me wonder...
Ah forget it! I'm starting to sound as conspiracy theory loving as Ren. :-))

P.S. Hey Ren! How's it going? Move completed ok?
