Nice article. I'd like to mention one thing though. To me it is not true that bitcoin doesn't require a thrid party for transactions. It does. The thing is that this third party changes all the time, every ten minutes or so. It is elected in an opened, public process, and every node in the network can postulate. |

I think at some point you said that the last bitcoin will be generated in 10 years or so. I think it's rather a century or so. |

I can't find any details about Bitcoin on the Shopkeep.com website. Anyone have a link to where this came from?

"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."

Now that we've been featured on Forbes and Time, I think Der Spiegel would be the next step.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if those guys copy one another. How ridiculous it would be, though! |

If you found my post helpful, feel free to send a small tip to 1QGukeKbBQbXHtV6LgkQa977LJ3YHXXW8B Visit the BitCoin Q&A Site to ask questions or share knowledge. 0.009 BTC too confusing? Use mBTC instead! Details at www.em-bit.org or visit the project thread to help make Bitcoin prices more human-friendly. |

With that sort of press we're bound to get a few thousand newcomers buying in next month. yep but since print readers are typically a little slower to jump on something hopefully it will cause a slow gradual rise and not a hard spike and then a corrective drop. |

Could be historical pic that one I think ... not very often you get a guy burning paper money .... and he has the sense of purpose and tools to back it up ... (e.g. bitcoin home-page up on screen in background) I'm pretty sure Gavin did not actually burn those notes. Since Gavin organises the bitcoin faucet, it would have been silly not to sell those notes against bitcoins in order to add them to the faucet. |
