According to the Ra material--purportedly--they were a gift from a interdimensional civilization but they left once they realized we couldn't handle the technology. It was suggested that the pyramids were crystal-based devices that allowed humans to grasp the concept of absolute infinity and thus the universe and life itself. One would have to enter the center of the pyramid and be led through ritual. However, the higher echelons of the Egyptian empire kept this capability to themselves and just let the pyramids serve mainly as fancy palaces.
This would explain the use of the pyramid symbolism in finance among other things.
Of course, this is all just religious theory.
Not to pick on you man. But these are baseless. Who said any of these things, Scientists, historians, Egyptologists? Crystal alien device... Pft.. Indeed. Feel free to pick on me. They are indeed baseless claims. There are those who believe they can channel or act as a voice for interdimensional entities and we get theories like the one I just stated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_channelled_texts Interesting nonetheless. I don't believe nor disbelieve. I simply observe and discuss with an open-mind.

And the comments again: WARNING: Bitcoin is a SCAM. Bitcoin is an idiotic experiment which proves that a non-centrally planned currency is simply unfeasible. Bitcoin is highly corruptible as it is 100% computerized, unregulated and unmanaged. What if somebody cracks the code to your wallet? What if the code breaks? Libertardians never consider intricate details like this because they are too simplistic. The libertarian dream of perfectly functioning ‘free markets’ is a ridiculous fantasy. The only way to ensure peace and happiness is to delegate responsibility to democratically elected politicians with the skills, experience and education to manage complex social and economic issues. Sadly those politicians are a rare species, red list rare. This guy smells like a paid shill to me.

I think the site has glitched out. Too little payment was sent and it's not confirming.

Yes, the CB's are doomed and Bitcoin will rise like a Phoenix.
Also, doesn't "rising like a phoenix" imply that Bitcoin will have to die first? See the 2011 bubble and crash.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2013/01/28/government-ban-on-bitcoin-would-fail-miserably/...I maintain that a government ban on bitcoin would be about as effective as alcohol prohibition was in the 1920s. Government prohibition doesn’t even do a good job of keeping drugs out of prisons. The demand for an item, in this case digital cash with user-defined levels of privacy, does not simply evaporate in the face of a jurisdictional ban. One could even make the case that it becomes stronger because an official recognition that Bitcoin is not only a “renegade” currency but a “so-effective-it-had-to-be-banned” currency would imbue the cryptographic money with larger than life qualities...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-28/bitcoin-s-gains-may-fuel-central-bank-concerns-chart-of-the-day.htmlAn increase in the value of bitcoin, the world’s largest online currency, may fuel concerns that virtual money could undermine the role of central banks.
The CHART OF THE DAY shows that bitcoin has more than doubled in the past 12 months, strengthening to $16.37 from $5.88, according to data from Mt. Gox, the world’s largest bitcoin exchange. The money, issued by a decentralized network of computers, has recovered after falling to $2.14 in November 2011 from a high of $29.58 five months earlier.
Greater demand for virtual currencies could have a negative impact on the reputation of central banks, according to a report published by the European Central Bank in October last year. Since the report was released, bitcoin has risen more than 55 percent against the dollar and use of the currency has surged.
Bitpay Inc., a bitcoin payment processing company that recently raised $510,000 in an investment round, this month announced that the number of companies using its services has increased almost 50 percent to more than 2,000 since November, when blog management firm WordPress.com said it would accept the digital currency.
“I think the ECB obviously is concerned, and it’s not reputational,” said Steve Hanke, a professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore who helped to establish new currency regimes in countries such as Argentina and Bulgaria. “I think it’s a competitive threat. Maybe virtual currencies will be so convenient that they will pose a threat because of their ease of use.”
Virtual currencies “could have a negative impact on the reputation of central banks” if their use grows considerably, the Frankfurt-based ECB said in its research paper. “This risk should be considered when assessing the overall risk situation of central banks.”

As far as randomness of passphrase, Electrum generates a pretty random phrase. I don't see that those should be very crackable, and I don't beleve in the idea of including personal information in my passwords either, despite Gavin's recommendation.
The personal information bit makes it easy for a employer, government or bank to crack your password. I don't know how that's entropic at all in a objective sense. In fact, the suggestion of associating your personal information with your bitcoins puts a very bad taste in my mouth. Why would you suggest this, Gavin?
