Good account of Ethereum that cuts through some of the abstraction. I thought his comments towards the end were particularly compelling:
"I went to this hackathon expecting to learn about a “better bitcoin”, but pretty soon I started to think that this is in fact a re-envisioning of the internet, where centralized servers are replaced by a network of peers, urls are replaced by addresses on the blockchain, http is replaced by a low-latency torrent protocol (its called Swarm), and websites are replaced by distributed apps. No individual owns this kind of network, nobody controls it. That seems to me to be the vision."
