Not sure if someone wrote a rebuttal. The author does get quite a few things wrong. I guess we'll find out soon enough. The markets for BitAssets are going to open this week, and a pure-prediction market will take over soon thereafter.

True. That's a big part towards the move to proof of stake systems. Some people argue that the 'delegates' can collude to destroy the system, but this is more of a problem in Bitcoin, where just two major mining pools can col
