[Taslug] Blockchain discussed in the mainstream

[Peter Billam]

Hi.  Just a followup to Scott's talk:  Blockchain is getting lots 
of serious coverage in the very bank-conscious Swiss press, eg: 
  http://www.nzz.ch/finanzen/private-finanzen/herausforderung-fuer-banken-und-den-staat-blockchain-der-naechste-wohlstandsschock-ld.17609 
(I wish they wouldn't make these ever longer-and-longer URLs) 
It's in german; the title is roughly: 
  Blockchain - the next shock to standard-of-living 
  A challenge for banks, and for states. 
and the summary: 
  Blockchain is more than a digital technology.  It's a system that 
  allows much simpler and less expensive ownership-transactions to 
  be established, and organised.  That's going to have consequences...
