On the contrary, I think this has aged really well.
Look at this for example:
> A recent example illustrates this. Your typical architecture astronaut will take a fact like “Napster is a peer-to-peer service for downloading music” and ignore everything but the architecture, thinking it’s interesting because it’s peer to peer, completely missing the point that it’s interesting because you can type the name of a song and listen to it right away.
He was exactly right. Now you can do the same thing on YouTube: type the name of a song and most of the time it will come up right away. And that's what matters the most.

Suddenly you have peer-to-peer conferences, peer-to-peer venture capital funds, and even peer-to-peer backlash with the imbecile business journalists dripping with glee as they copy each other’s stories: “Peer To Peer: Dead!” Crypto comes to mind. Crypto is astronaut crack. Distributed ledger astronautery for some. Weird economics astronautery for others. Meanwhile, the "listen to song" feature of crypt being "I can make money with this." Eventually we'll have CB crypto with reversible transactions.
