The two points I'd underline from this piece are:

1. having more than tech people driving the popularity of the program is key to eventual broad-based appeal. Almost anyone can understand the value of writing for monetary rewards whether or not they EVER use a cryptocurrency.

2. this temporary ban of cryptocurrencies by China will likely be seen as a major entry point for investors in the years ahead. We'll likely see a short term sell-off even beyond what we already have. But China will not sit on the sidelines forever. Once they return to this market, the gains could be staggering.

Upvoted and followed you, @cyrptocurrencies. Feel free to follow me back.
