It's not a good summary for hackers. It tells you sweet nothing about how Bitcoin actually works in practice. Where's the information on SegWit or the block size or in practice how the protocol works? Nowhere.
It's a hash together of what the author has seen on Bitcoin and thinks is cool.
It's an attempt to convince an idiot that's it's really complicated and they should BUY BUY BUY HODL HODL.
It's a terrible article and Bitcoin is a terrible mix of core developers who are innovating crazy solutions on top of crypto with spurious documentation, server farms run on cheap electricity in various places of a disreputable nature and college kids investing their student loans on internet money. Plus, now, a small amount of the general public who read an article or two and are playing the high stakes casino tables with their savings/rainy day money.
- anigbrowl 9y agoWell I'm OK with it for hackers in terms of citing the original white paper and so on. It doesn't promote itself as anything other than introductory piece. But I take your point about it not really meeting anyone's needs well.
