I find it annoying how people equate blockchain with cryptocurrencies. GIT repos are basically blockchains, yet they have nothing to do with greed nor cryptocurrencies.
> But it has also become the byword for a libertarian ideology that treats all governments, central banks, traditional financial institutions, and real-world currencies as evil concentrations of power that must be destroyed
Would you blame them for wanting that though? Admittedly most people who moved to cryptocurrencies only care about greed, but is this not simply the side effect of the whole scheme becoming popular?

I don't know how true or false this is (especially when considering that there are many cryptocoin farms in china and Russia, as well as the likely Japanese ethnicity of the creator of bitcoin), but I fail to see how this is the fault of cryptocurrencies themselves (with the exception that one already needed money in order to invest in the GPUs).
