    I find it greatly amusing and cathartic to read the term "shitcoin" used repeatedly in congressional testimony. https://www.banking.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Roubini%20Testimony%2010-11-18.pdf … Good read.

        Footnote (1) defining #Shitcoin in the testimony is even more cathartic...

        Interesting, indeed. FUD is probably part of every (technology) revolution. As if other currencies were not volatile or used by good and bad people... Blockchain, going through growing pains. Thank you for sharing, Mr. Krebs. Your contribution to security is most appreciated!

        Any claims of "FUD" aside (I have not read the document), blockchains certainly aren't a "revolution". They're a minor discovery with somewhat disappointing tradeoffs and performance in a longer history of decades of decentralized-systems research.

        Excellent points, Mr. Slootweg. IT is so fascinating because of being so broad. Technologies, such as databases, routing / directory / naming services have a more direct impact on the Internet/Society. Yet, people are (also) happy to invest billions into Blockchain. Puzzling.

        This is especially unfortunate when you consider how critical to society IT has become...

        Certainly a tour-de-force, but probably too long and definitely to technical and detailed for the Hill. Good Sunday brunch read, though.
