I'm a bit tired of hearing that the Blockchain is "an important New Technology". Why is that a decentralized p2p ledger needs to be called a technology?
A technology is the mix of:
- A torrent like protocol;
- With POW on top to avoid double spending;
- Some good ideas of the past!

That's my technology and it goes under the name of BTCitcoin.

Will be interesting the direction the US will take on BTC now that Trump is president.
