HFT and currency speculation hasn't been cutting edge since... I don't know 90s? 80s?

  It's "cutting edge" in the sense that people are just now getting around to implementing most of the traditional centralized financial systems back again onto popular blockchain technologies. It's worth calling out specifically because it will not likely last very long in its current state; large, intuitional actors will either jump on it, or it will die an unceremonious death, gobbling up billions of dollars in its wake.
