Title: 2013-05-15 Wired: A visit to London's 'Bitcoin squat' Post by: Arvicco on May 15, 2013, 08:37:09 PM http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-05/15/bitcoin-squat-visit
Quote When I'd first got in touch with Amir it was to speak about how Bitcoin will disrupt politics and governments. But this visit has made me discover a lot more. Certainly Bitcoin, like hacker culture, is based on freedom. But these hackers' beliefs are bigger than that -- they believe in really changing the system. This includes finding different ways of living (squatting and cooperatives) and creating a real culture of communal sharing. Will Bitcoin allow them to change things?

That's why I'm kind of disappointed that Amir supports this kind of organizations.
Hasn't he got enough bitcoins to buy a proper place? And why should it be in London, one of the most expensive city in Europe? Sorry to bring a cliché but this very much looks like a hippie community and hippies very much nag me.

Agreed, I think the media in the UK use Amir to destroy the reputation of Bitcoin. Amir doesn't realize it but he's being used by the UK media to discredit Bitcoin. Many people in the UK don't like squatters.
