Did anybody predict a bitcoin type system before it was technologically possible? And similarly, does anybody now have any idea of how a currency could be more pure then bitcoin if only we had the technology? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Episode 1 The Bitcoin Simpsons: The Simpsons climb Mt Gox (7:07) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duoyacLJpKI or http://vimeo.com/24718978 |

Nostradamus did. Bitcoins can be made more pure if you decanter them a few times.

See https://blindbitcoin.com/ or http://bitcoinlaundry.com/ , but would these sites not be illegal if you consider its laundering activities? Does http://www.bitcoin.org/ provide any anonymity? |

No, none at all. If you wanted anonimity, you shouldn't have come here. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

I've been spending a little bit of time thinking about how gaming services like World of Warcraft and (don't-call-it-a-gaming-service) Second Life have succeeded where we at DigiCash failed — convenient, widely-used, programmable digital cash. A problem is that each of these new currencies are centrally controlled by one entity. This limits the scope of who will rely on that currency and how much value they will risk on that currency. There are ideas floating around about how to facilitate transactions between currencies, but this would not solve the problem. A plethora of competing centralized services is not the same as a decentralized service. Even if it were cheap and convenient to trade some LindenBucks for some WoW Gold, this would only lead us back to the equivalent of the modern nation-state currencies: mostly centralized (because of the Network Externality), heavily taxed/regulated/manipulated, and prone to disastrous failure. What I want is a currency which everyone can cheaply and conveniently use but which no-one has the power to manipulate. No-one has the power to inflate or deflate the currency supply, no-one has the power to monitor, tax, or prevent transactions. Truly the digital equivalent of gold, during the times and places when gold was the universal currency. See the BitGold idea by Nick Szabo and b-money idea by Wei Dai, and recent effort to actually implement something along these lines: BitCoin by Satoshi Nakamoto. - http://x.co/XbWmThen Nick Szabo's recent article where he discusses BitGold and Bitcoin: only a few people had read of the bit gold ideas, which although I came up with them in 1998 (at the same time and on the same private mailing list where Dai was coming up with b-money -- it's a long story) were mostly not described in public until 2005, although various pieces of it I described earlier, for example the crucial Byzantine-replicated chain-of-signed-transactions part of it which I generalized into what I call secure property titles. - http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2011/05/bitcoin-what-took-ye-so-long.html |

I didn't predict Bitcoin, but I did predict an Internet based monetary revolution: http://www.anti-state.com/article.php?article_id=433I just thought it would have been gold backed digital currencies like e-gold. Bitcoin or other decentralized cryptocurrencies beat those by far though. It looks like the monetary revolution is under way! |

The real question is "who predicted utilizing a medium of exchange outside of government intervention". I jest, but thats one of a multitudes of ways in which to interpret your question. If thats the case, one needs to understand politics and when was the first established political environment in mankind. Then realize that medium of exchange happened way before that.  |

"16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."However, until the time comes, we can't be sure if these verses are really referring to the the digital currencies... |

It depends how far back you're talking but it is definitely possible that there were other people who envisioned something along the lines of Bitcoin (as in digital currency) in the past 50 years. People were already experimenting with digital currencies in the nineties. The concept behind the blockchain itself is even more fundamental, I wouldn't be surprised if people already thought of similar systems 100's of years ago.

Revelations 13:16-17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. It's interesting how people read things into the text that are not actually there. The passage in Revelations speaks of a mark. It does not say that the mark _is_ money or anything of the sort. Much less that it refers to a microchip or digital currency or any of the wild speculations people bring upon it. It just specifies that people would be marked, and the mark will be a requirement to engage in transaction activity. Bitcoin doesn't involve such a mark in any way, shape or form. So there is simply no relationship between bitcoin and this passage. Note that the passage also doesn't require there to be only one currency. There could be many currencies, so long as they were all using the same mark as a control mechanism. |
