Let me know what you think.

First: great article! thanks.

There are two common inaccuracies, though:

  • "all transactions are completely free"
  • "transactions are instantaneous"

I would love if someone came up with something sounding just as positive while being true.

"transactions _can_ be free, but if the amount is small and the transaction's inputs are not old, you might have to pay a small fee to get it through fast enough" just doesn't cut it marketing-wise Sad

If someone could come up with a nice way to put it without being inaccurate I would be happy.


Hi there- I'm not sure I said either of those things in the article. Do you think you may be looking at another article? I can't find those phrases using Google, though. -JB

Hi folks,

My name is Jerry Brito and I'm the author of the TIME piece. I'm glad you guys seem to like it. I'd appreciate any other feedback you may have. I've also blogged about Bitcoin in relation to yesterday's poker domain seizures here:

http://techliberation.com/2011/04/16/bitcoin-imagine-a-net-without-intermediaries/

Let me know what you think. Also, I host a podcast called Surprisingly Free (http://surprisinglyfree.com) and on next week's show Gavin Andresen will be my guest.

Anyhow, I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you that since I heard about Bitcoin a couple of months ago, I've been very excited about it. I'm an academic researcher focusing on tech policy and I teach at GMU Law. I'm hoping to begin to dedicate some of my research time to the legal issues around bitcoin, so you'll hopefully see me around these parts more often.

Cheers,
Jerry
