blockchain article
Plutchak, T Scott
There’s been a mention or two on this list of what impact blockchain, the technology underlying bitcoin, might have on scholarly communication. This article, from the New York Times magazine, is the best description I’ve yet seen about what the technology is and what some of its implications might be, far beyond cryptocurrencies.
It’s long, but well written, clear and I think very worth your time.
“Beyond the Bitcoin Bubble” by Steven Johnson. New York Times Magazine, January 16, 2018.

I have just been to session on Blockchain at APE Berlin organised by Eefke Smit of STM. This was Wednesday. I am still ingesting the presentations but there was a real librarian speaking – Lambert Heller of TIN Hannover. I can see that the NYT article will need a lot of thought
