Joi Ito worries too damn much.

I don't get the argument that there aren't enough people that understand Bitcoin technically. The whitepaper exists for all to read, the source code exists for all to peruse. To say definitively that there are only a "handful" of people that have the technical chops to get the big picture is just frantic hand-wringing. Honestly, out of a world population of Billions, you're telling me that only a small fraction are able to "get" Bitcoin?

I don't buy it, and neither should you...
