Correct me if I'm wrong but the article is about elucidating the structure of a blockchain database - not a practical secure cryptocurrency.



You are correct. However, this field is so new and so potentially disruptive that there are a lot of so called 'blockchain developers' inventing new cryptocurrecies which are unworkable, or essentially no different to VISA in terms of trust, who are convincing unwitting investors to part with large sums of cash because they don't understand the basics of what a cryptocurrency is. We don't need more of them. We need understanding.
