Fantastic positive coverage thanks to Joerg Platzer (joecoin), Jeff, Mike Gogulski and all the others who appear in this video. I am endlessly amazed at the energy Joerg has put in to building the Bitcoin Kiez in Berlin, it's a real PR coup for the whole project. Especially brilliant are the quotes from Florentina about how there's no typical Bitcoin user who comes to her shop - it's not just for nerds. Maybe we should have a part of her quote up on the quotes section of the press center? http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/apr/26/bitcoins-gain-currency-in-berlin (article) http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/video/2013/apr/26/bitcoin-currency-moves-offline-berlin-video (video) Also very pleased to see how prominent the p2p Android app is. Andreas and I put a lot of work into it over the past couple of years and it's nice to see truly decentralized mobile wallets be promoted like that. |

they do instantly with 0 confirmations afaik. If someone really wants to dine and dash in a pub, there's been a much easier method for 5000 years: just stand up and go.

Wow that's a fantastic real-world showcase of just a few owners using coin wonderfully. If we could have even a fraction of something like that in every town, it'd be "here".

lots of quote gold in this article ...
"There is not a prototype Bitcoin payer, it's random people. Not only nerds, let me put it that way." - Florentina Martens
"It could be from a science fiction novel, but the fact is we have it in the here and the now," - Jeff Gallas
"I like the fact that Bitcoin scares people in suits, because if this thing were to really take off, it would bankrupt a lot of bankers." - Wilko Bereit
"Every day we don't use a system like Bitcoin, we actually vote for the current system to continue" - Joerg Platzer
"Bitcoin represents an opportunity to transform the way we deal with the flows of wealth and human energy." - Mike Gogulski

This could be the Tahrir Square moment for Bitcoin.
edit: probably not the best analogy, nobody has died for lack of Bitcoins.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.
