A while ago I had come across the YCC thing but didn't have a look at it in any detail before. I hadn't heard of the doomloop, though the move away from fiat is well, what every crypto person predicts in hope that one day it justifies our obsession.
What I am more interested in is the competition between centralised and decentralised forms of business and the economy overall, as that is the crux of it all. In a year, the news will pick up in it too perhaps. :)
