I try to learn as much as I can about cryptography, but I know how much I am still missing. So a question to more knowledgeable part of the crowd - is the crypto suite this article suggests is best pick, or is there anything better?

It's implemented by just flipping bits in their database - no Bitcoin transactions or cryptographic functions are used here. I'm don't really understand what's awesome about that - many Bitcoin services already support o

This only works between Coinbase accounts, which kind of defeats purpose of Bitcoin - because it requires both parties to be tied to a single company. Thus I don't see anything revolutionary about this - many Bitcoin services already i

The article doesn't seem to mention this, but there is another trick in these guys arsenals - fake news articles about their products. They build entire webpages, along with side-stories and article comments that support their product.
