Bitcoin for beginners guide.

Whether you are interested in Bitcoin as an open source software project, peer-to-peer network, or decentralized virtual currency, insight into its many facets will help you make sounder decisions about implementing it. In this article (one of three parts) Dirk Merkel gives an overview of Bitcoin, discussing its characteristics as a peer-to-peer network and decentralized currency. He also explores motivations for contributing to the project or implementing it in online transaction systems, as well as some of the pitfalls of doing so.

I just read this article thru my google daily search...  I thought it was a very reasonable and neutral article..  I say YES Smiley

Will Bitcoin Kill the Dollar?

Allan Harris & Corey Conley
2011-11-23

http://nvate.com/2177/will-bitcoin-kill-the-dollar/


The concept of a global currency seems laughable. Even Europe, with its thousands of years of shared heritage and culture, can’t all agree on the Euro, and their banking crisis seems unlikely to win over the doubters. You might be surprised to learn, then, that there already is a global currency. The humble “Bitcoin.”

...

If it continues to grow in popularity and enters mainstream usage, it could prove to be extremely disruptive to current economic systems.

The Coming Collapse of Bitcoin?

But for all its limitations, bitcoin remains a major milestone in our transition from national currencies to global currencies. It also serves as a guiding light for transitioning from labor-intensive systems to automated systems.

The legend of bitcoin is far from over. In fact, it’s only beginning.

Another assumptive headline.. this time in a WSJ blog.
It often seems journalists prefer to get their opinions from other journalists rather than investigating issues for themselves.

In fairness to the journos - sometimes the articles are half decent and it appears the headlines may be chosen by someone else (editors) for greater impact.

This is just another little meta-piece based on the recent Wired article.

Bitcoin: Who needs the almighty dollar after all?

"In this way, I think it's illiquidity waiting to happen. And of course illiquidity did doom Bitcoin 1.0.

Any future version that actually works would have to solve this problem. Probably by striking a compromise between distributed and centrally managed value."

Special Report

The FP Top 100 Global Thinkers
Foreign Policy presents a unique portrait of 2011's global marketplace of ideas and the thinkers who make them.


December 2011 (published 2011-11)


http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/11/28/the_fp_top_100_global_thinkers?page=full



98 Rick Falkvinge
For taking pirates into politics
Founder, Pirate Party | Sweden

"It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy," the late Steve Jobs once said. No one had to tell Rick Falkvinge, founder and chief evangelist of the growing global Pirate Party movement. A former software entrepreneur and Microsoft employee, Falkvinge founded the original party in Sweden in 2006. It rose to prominence following a government crackdown on the Pirate Bay file-sharing site, and Pirate parties are now active in more than 25 countries.

Indeed, 2011 may be remembered as the year Falkvinge's big idea broke through into the public consciousness. His Pirates still aren't exactly mainstream, but the issues they focus on -- government transparency, Internet privacy, and copyright law -- are very much in the zeitgeist, and their ranks are growing. The Swedish and Swiss Pirate parties have aided WikiLeaks, offering the controversial site server space and web hosting; a self-described Pirate Party activist was named secretary of youth and sports in Tunisia's revolutionary cabinet; and in September, the Pirates won a shocking 8.9 percent of the vote in Berlin's state elections.

Falkvinge also made Internet waves this year with his high-profile advocacy of Bitcoin, a digital currency that is either the future of global commerce or a high-tech form of money laundering -- depending on whom you ask.

...

Best idea
Bitcoin. Distributed cryptocurrency will change the economic game entirely, wrestling financial power from banks and governments.

Falkvinge made the cut thanks to his staunch advocacy of controversial p2p transaction system BitCoin and “for taking pirates into politics.”

Great achievement by Rick Falkvinge, who, incidentally, gave an inspiring speech at the prague Bitcoin Conference (his presentation).
However, FP's Top 100 "Thinkers" list is also smeared with names like Bernanke or Trichet...

Another Wired reaction piece.
John Geraci sees the potential of p2p currency - but like others, seems to have been led by that article to the premature conclusion that Bitcoin has had a permanent fall.

Did Bitcoin “Fail” or Is it Just One Step On the Road to P2P Currency?

http://johngeraci.com/blog/2011/12/did-bitcoin-fail-or-is-it-just-one-step-on-the-road-to-p2p-currency/#comment-1273


Reading the article, I feel like the unmistakable conclusion, which the author doesn’t make, is that Bitcoin failed, but in doing so it blew a gigantic hole in the concept of money, broke a lot of new ground, and that new ground is bound to be claimed by some other player in the next few years one way or another.
