At the same time, I do think it’s important to recognize that it can’t and won’t flourish as a way of avoiding legal protections.” Paul Krugman, how do you feel now lol? :D Title: Re: Larry Summers former US Treasury Secretary: It’s a serious mistake to write off Post by: TrailingComet on May 02, 2014, 11:19:49 AM Summers is an abrasive guy but fundamentally intelligent

Anyone writing off Bitcoin is doing a huge mistake.
