Jon Matonis,

Gives a great interview about bitcoin and contributes to the discussion of "defining" bitcoin and identifying how is it distinct from other "electronic" or "digital" currency.

great idea. Just don't tell him it's boot legged here. I would have used my bitcoin to get it.

IF you do let me know I'll take the link down so he sees how many people would use BTC to use it.

I've been arguing that bitcoin is a virtual currency and that fiat is not a virtual currency but I like you point. If fiat is actually the virtual what is bitcoin it can't also be a virtual currency as it implies they are both the same thing which they are not.

Digital - yes. a commodity - yes. money - in what sense? is stores value? it has value, it certainly has a perceived value.

a digital comedity money ? too much too academic.

Needs to be more clear. But you are on to something!

I still think the at-register/ at-checkout interaction with all bitcoin solutions is a bit clumsy and I don't thinks qr code will ever be widely adopted.

And while google is all-in on NFC we've seen the trouble (and the friction) even this powerful giant has encountered in trying to jump-start that effort.

There is yet a third option that we have't uncovered yet which will let the the digital wallet/payment being widely accepted.

This paper has really got the community talking and thinking.

Are you following the debate over here:

I think this a great opportunity for us as a community to more clearly define our term for the general public, refine our position and make clear how we see bitcoin fitting into the fiat financial system.

I think the more clarity we bring to the discussion as a community NOW the less regulation we'll have imposed upon us when regulators catch up to figuring out what this bitcoin thing is all about.
