As often with the FT the comments are very good eg this one which is acknowledged by the author: > I have been a btc fan since 2013. I am glad I joined 'the cult'.

One needs imagination to recognise a technology that has significant political and philosophical implications. > I would urge skeptics to consider these aspects as well as urge the zealots to consider the bad aspects of crypto socially and the bad aspects of proselytising.
