Title: The death of banks – and the future of money

I found this article and thought it was very good. Naturally, it talks about Bitcoin and the end of state currencies.

Yeah, this guy has long been advocating some kind of gold standard (or other kind of non-regulated money) but I think this is a first post from him that clearly advocates Bitcoin. Yippee!

Detlev Schlichter gave a good talk during the Prague Bitcoin conference. He has written about bitcoin before.

You're the reason that I found out about Bitcoin!

Oops, I have missed it then. I remember reading blog posts from this guy, but before I have only noticed very minor mentions about bitcoin.

Now I found this, from last summer, so I was wrong: http://papermoneycollapse.com/2011/06/bitcoin-gold-and-the-demise-of-fiat-money/
