This is a pretty informative article. A coworker recently gave a very basic introductory tech talk at lunch about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency fundamentals, so this article hit me at the perfect time.

For anyone perusing comments to see if a link is worth their time, I'd say the writing is pretty opinionated, but the fact nuggets are worth the digging.

Applications of triple-entry accounting on voting is something I'd never thought of, and it's actually fascinating. I don't necessarily think that concept has to be tied to computing either. You still go to the voting booth, but you get some printed out ID in return for your vote that acts as the private key. You can check the blockchain for your voting ID. There are still obvious issues, but my only point is that it doesn't necessarily need to be tied to voting on your computer.
