In rereading North's article, I'd say I was wrong to say that his article constitutes disinformation. That's not true.
Having only just listened to Molyneux, I foolishly reacted too quickly to what seemed to be another negative article about Bitcoin. But, in truth, North's point of view is worthy of much more consideration.
In many ways, it is the opposite argument to that of Molyneux (who, of course, is a noted libertarian and North plainly regards libertarians as unrealisitic).
I guess time will tell whose view is the correct one. So far, I'm putting my hope into Bitcoin since it sees a far more humanitarian future.
Given that the Internet, I believe, is with us for keeps, then perhaps algorithms can be the way of the future. What, it seems to me, this new protocol allows is for everyone (via the blockchain) in an extraordinarily democratic way to exercise their say ... and not just about the transfer of money.
