Bitcoin bothers me a bit :)

The architecture inherently favors centralization. Mr. Assange, who is a suspect character in my book, appears to be pushing for adopting this mechanism for archival processes, possibly knowing full well that this, in the long term, engenders 'custodians of truth'.

An extant, lightweight, and fully validated approach to do precisely that, maintain inviolable records of morphology of digital artifacts, is ignored. (I doubt he is ignorant of GIT..)
