Bram Cohen, creator of BitTorrent, knows a thing or two about how to successfully engineer a decentralised, peer to peer protocol.<p>Bram wrote about the manufacturing of this ‘fake crisis’ back in June of last year [1].

I&#x27;d suggest reading these if you want to get some balance to this highly one-sided and simplistic article by Cade Metz in <i>Wired</i>.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@bramcohen&#x2F;bitcoin-s-ironic-crisis-32226a85e39f#.hvgkb4vxz" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@bramcohen&#x2F;bitcoin-s-ironic-crisis-32226a...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@bramcohen&#x2F;whiny-ragequitting-cab164b1e88#.1pmjtdg6v" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@bramcohen&#x2F;whiny-ragequitting-cab164b1e88...</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@bramcohen&#x2F;double-billing-is-not-healthy-competition-b698c345b11e#.hjwrfhn1g" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@bramcohen&#x2F;double-billing-is-not-healthy-...</a>
