This kind of thing always reminds me of one of those articles that used to pop up from time to time about some massive coup in EVE Online. I wouldn't have any idea what they were talking about or why it was showing up on my radar, and moreover, it would be clear that the money, time, and energy required to begin to have even a neophyte's understanding would not be worthwhile.
I'm still not convinced that Ethereum isn't just a strange RPG that people who don't really want to play are accidentally getting involved in.
