" The dollar is working fine, and there’s no reason to think people want to switch to an exotic digital currency."

Way to make it easy to see how the only counter argument to not getting bitcoin in this article is inherently flawed, ergo buy bitcoin!

Even if you think USD is working, bitcoin will be there for when you change your mind!

Hence, Cyprus.  And if we believe what Max Kaiser has to say, these types of occurences may be the norm for the rest of this decade and possibly the next one, too!
