Johnson, Steven. “Beyond the Bitcoin Bubble.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 16 Jan. 2018, www.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/magazine/beyond-the-bitcoin-bubble.html.
This article talks about how bitcoin is a bubble. It starts off by talking about how to make a virtual wallet and how it forms your password. Goes on to talk about etherum, another bitcoin. Etherums value has gone up $1000 in the last year. No one owns etherum, it is not a company. Etherum went from 8 dollars on the first day of 2017 to 843 dollars a year from that day, people became billionaires. ''the Bitcoin bubble may ultimately turn out to be a distraction from the true significance of the blockchain.'' The article goes on to talk about the importance of block chain.
This article is a good example for a opposing article but also give a lot of information how it works. I think this source is credible because it is from the New York times which is regarded as a very credible. -

For all their brilliance, the inventors of the open protocols that shaped the internet failed to include some key elements that would later prove critical to the future of online culture. Perhaps most important, they did not create a secure open standard that established human identity on the network.

You can’t fix the problems technology has created for us by throwing more technological solutions at it. You need forces outside the domain of software and servers to break up cartels with this much power.

But as its name suggests, Protocol Labs has an ambition that extends beyond these projects; Benet’s larger mission is to support many new open-source protocols in the years to come.

The fact that they have to sell ads to pay the bills for that service — and the fact that the scale of their network gives them staggering power over the minds of two billion people around the world — is an unfortunate, but inevitable, price to pay for a shared social graph

Dan Finlay, a creator of MetaMask, echoes Dixon’s argument. “To me, what’s interesting about this is that we get to program new value systems,” he says. “They don’t have to resemble money.”
-
instead of creating value by owning something, as in the shareholder equity model, people create value by improving the underlying protocol, either by helping to maintain the ledger (as in Bitcoin mining), or by writing apps atop it, or simply by using the service.
-
the whole system depends on an initial speculative phase in which outsiders are betting on the token to rise in value.

You should own your digital identity

“self-sovereign” identity — as the parlance has it — was a practical impossibility. Now it is an attainable goal.
-
new identity system called uPort that has been spun out of ConsenSys and another one called Blockstack that is currently based on the Bitcoin platform. (Tim Berners-Lee is leading the development of a comparable system, called Solid, that would also give users control over their own data.)
-
An open identity standard would give ordinary people the opportunity to sell their attention to the highest bidder, or choose to keep it out of the marketplace altogether.

I’ve managed to complete a secure transaction without any of the traditional institutions that we rely on to establish trust. No intermediary brokered the deal; no social-media network captured the data from my transaction to better target its advertising; no credit bureau tracked the activity to build a portrait of my financial trustworthiness.

Ethereum is far closer to a democracy than a private corporation.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the recent history of the internet, it’s that seemingly esoteric decisions about software architecture can unleash profound global forces once the technology moves into wider circulation.
