Half way down the page and there are zero arguments in favour - deeply disingenuous article.
Much of what this "discussion" focuses on casts every innovation (of which there are many) into the Bitcoin Proof of Work pidgeon hole.
Bitcoin is a primitive protocol - nothing more than a technical proof that can now be used as a gold store.
There are some serious upcoming corporate monsters building their foundations right now.
Cardano, Chainlink, ETH(Maybe), Augur.
All of those are real companies not anarchist dreams.
Serious scientific minds like Philip Wadler, who has contributed majorly to Haskell and Java, this is not some libertarian dream.
This is IoT and the eventual interface with AGI.
But yeah, focus on the silk road for gods sake.
