I came here to post the same link! I'm always amazed at the number of programmers who pooh pooh blockchains as a fad (they probably are a bit oversold at the moment) but when they realize what they are and how they work, go hmm.

Absolutely agree with this. It's a shame that for the moment such a revolutionary technology is getting so tied up with _super_ shady stuff. For every 10 awful Ponzi ICOs there's a real gem of someone using new tech to really try and push boundaries.

I wouldn't worry about it. This phenomenon is true, maybe to a lower degree of mania, for technologies past (trains, exploration, gold rushes, every tech bubble) and present (crispr, biologics)
