Your point is really interesting, I've seen similar articles and I still can't figure out why and how spreadsheets could be replaced by Jupyter Notebooks. While they are awesome for data analysis and building code by section, to the best of my knowledge the sequential execution lacks the flexibility of the dynamic interdependence of spreadsheets, so having the possibility to call dynamically Python code seems awesome to me in the context with several interconnected variable as it allows quick, simple and dynamic modeling. Am I missing something?

Another unsung hero that contributed to improve the world, IMHO it's a beautiful example of the fact that in the end it's not the degree of sophistication (even of the road to find it is steep) that really matters but how it translates into positive outcome in the physical world that eventually matters.

I'm no expert and I find both positive and disconcerting points in cryptocurrencies so I am not sided on this issue. What is perplexing me is the fact that more or less every discussion on the topic is centered on the dollar price (or another government currency) of the cryptocurrency in question. I'm curious to be presented a counterargument but if it was a real currency and not a speculative asset (not to criticize) why would it be the center of discussion? For example main focus over the Euro (except in specific cases such as Forex exchange for example) is not about conversion to another currency because it is a widespread and accepted way to settle your debts while cryptocurrencies are not there yet(?). In my current vision the way it will be cryptocurrencies over cryptoassets will be the day the conversion will be a secondary issue as it will suffice in itself because it's an organic (really) widespread way to extinguish debt for good & services consumption.
