very nice TNT by Jtbobways, however I wish that this cc had a few more major non-cryptojournal news sources talking about it, so withdrawing my delete vote. cinco de L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 19:11, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with "Standard run fo the mill reporting by non RS crypto sites." ... --Lauranos (talk) 12:53, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete no reliable sources, no indication of notability. "Standard run fo the mill reporting by non RS crypto sites." Yes, but the article has a whole lot of them as well as all the fanciest buzzwords. Of course, a lot of nonsense is still nonsense. Smallbones(smalltalk) 02:44, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep @Smallbones:, @Lauranos:, @L3X1: I added a few sources and blanked the majority of the article. It is currently a stub. Seemed to be some WSJ and maybe NYT sources but I don't have a paid account so I couldn't read those hits. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 12:08, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks - Looks really better Jtbobwaysf ... --Lauranos (talk) 08:10, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I can't check the FT references, but the others are trivial. Possibly redirect to Daniel Larimer. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:36, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For the ft.com sources no paid account is needed. But free registration is required. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 06:19, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
