I don't know what cohesive point this article is trying to make. The writing is all over the place, jumping from one pop-finance idea to the next without exploring any of them in the depth they deserve. I've seen plenty of great pieces on both blockchain and basic income, but this isn't one of them.
The direction of the article deteriorates over time. The last section is an incoherent, unfocused mass of linkspam to Buzzfeed-quality stories. While I'm sure there are some great SEO reasons for Bloomberg View to do it this way, I think we're worse off as readers for it.
No upvote. Levine's work is arguably off-topic, and certainly not the quality I expect on HN.
It's not trying to make a cohesive point; it's a collection of short, unrelated posts bundled together. Many of Matt Levine's posts [0] are in this style, including his most recent post [1].
