   * [Ross Anderson: Why Bitcoin is Not Cash](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9HH_dFcoLc) - 2018-04-10 - 📺 walks through why bitcoin is not cash and the complex legal questions it would need to deal with if it wanted to be.

 * [Simon Wardley: A Spoiler for the Future of Bitcoin](https://blog.gardeviance.org/2013/11/a-spoiler-for-future-bitcoin.html) - 2013-11-27 - "As you can guess, I'm not a fan of bitcoin. If left unchecked then I find it has the potential to undermine the importance of Government which is actually not good for competition and not good for the market. I hope none of the above happens and would rather see bitcoin disappear in a puff of history." (NB: he predicts massive appreciation in bitcoin and is concerned how it can undermine government and tax revenue.)

What if there isn’t actually any use for a distributed ledger at all? What if, ten years after it was invented, the reason nobody has adopted a distributed ledger at scale is because nobody wants it?"

Its failure to achieve adoption to date is because systems built on trust, norms, and institutions inherently function better than the type of no-need-for-trusted-parties systems blockchain envisions. That’s permanent: no matter how much blockchain improves it is still headed in the wrong direction."

But enthusiasm for it mainly stems from a lack of knowledge and understanding. The blockchain is a solution in search of a problem."
