It's a markets/economics analysis blog that takes some pride in staking independent positions. (Charitably put.) The segue to blockchain/MBS wasn't a non-sequitur, it was the eventual aim of the piece -- that smart people will invent, nasty people will ruin, smart people will be ruined and the state will intervene and grow in remit. As for the strikethrough, it was to compare the causes of the GFC with the (at the time of writing more current) blockchain fad.
