The miners who actually own the primary physical conduit between imaginary currency and the real world infrastructure that secures it. who are conspicuous only in how incredibly low profile they are, content to let all the heat accrue to the exchanges and the scams and the outrageous twitterarti charlatans.

Or some upstart Cassandra somehow manages to get the mass media's attention and is dangerously reminding them to ask why after 10 years and still no substantial usage outside of ransomware and darknet and funding criminal outlaw regimes, there is no meaningful adoption of this supposedly world-changing technology, needs to be outflanked by wiggling that magic shadow puppet market cap number around once again.
