While I'm in general a blockchain & crypto skeptic- worth noting that FT Alphaville are not arguing in good faith, they are self-proclaimed contrarians who are fanatically anti-tech, anti-tech companies, and in particular anti-US tech companies. They are especially obsessed with blockchain and Tesla/Musk. They churn out 1-2 anti-crypto or anti-Musk or anti-Silicon Valley opinion pieces like this literally every day, apparently for a British finance industry audience. I used to enjoy the blog, but it's veered into anti-tech (and frankly, borderline anti-American tech) zealotry. (None of this is meant to be an endorsement of blockchain, but I can be skeptical while still examining the system in good faith)
