I'm here, but I won't be troubling myself to gain posting privileges here, too much of a PITA for an at most mildly interesting internet sideshow like bitcoin. In any case 99% of the value proposition of this forum for me is met by reader access only. Thank you for providing this. Have a good week.

You missed the period when a lot of trolls attacked the forum, that's why there are newbie restrictions.

I respectfully disagree with the proposition that bitcoin is merely a "sideshow."  Once people catch on to the potential that the bitcoin system offers in contrast to the conventional method of banking, their game is over.  The man in this interview makes this point very clearly.
