People have been conditioned for thousands of year to hold currency in their hands and the modern phenomenon of bitcoin paper wallets is quite different. The current paper currency system was originally just a receipt for funds held in reserve at a bank, not the actual monetary value itself.

Wired and Gizmodo Say That Suspected Bitcoin Creator Craig Wright is a HoaxerWho is Craig Wright – a genius invented bitcoin or equally talented hoaxer who created this astonishing story and made us believe it?
