So a while ago there was an article that someone was getting close to controlling 50% of the network, which means that they could make arbitrary changes to the blockchain. Whether true or not, if NASDAQ was using the blockchain to track stock ownership, it seems like there would be a HUGE incentive to try and control 50% so you could manipulate it. This seems bad.
EDIT: As I type this my comment sits at 0 points, as does every comment I make even remotely critical of bitcoin and the blockchain. Why does HN hate people that are critical of bitcoin?
