Chapter 10: Bitcoin questions

The final chapter answers common objections: is mining a waste of energy, who controls the rules, can the network scale, is it used for crime, and how could it be killed. The author also argues that other cryptocurrencies and most 'blockchain' uses lack Bitcoin's key property and are not worth much, a strong opinion. For each objection, compare his answer with current data, for example on mining energy and scaling.
