Goldman Sachs to Open a Bitcoin Trading Operation
One element I find fascinating about the cryptocurrency &#x2F; blockchain &#x2F; ICO debates on HN and elsewhere is that there are 2 diametrically opposed sides with passionate advocates. On one side are the boosters that think it is a great innovation with enormous potential. The other side thinks blockchain is practically useless, the most overhyped technology ever created, a bubble never-before seen in history.<p>Yet every day there are stories (such as this article) showing crypto becoming more deeply ingrained in mainstream circles. New projects and new companies are forming consistently, just like with any new disruptive technology. But some very knowledgable people continue to argue with passion that the entire technology is a useless fraud!<p>However this pans out, there are going to be a lot of people on one side that were totally, completely wrong. I doubt there is much middle ground for this.
