       Still working on collecting a reading list, trying to understand why people somehow think blockchains are the ultimate hammer to fix all nails.The more I look at it the more destabilising it is. It so so feels like there's just... nothing their. And I keep finding more and more breathless evangelism and wackadoo proposals.
