Nice piece.

"Many people think first about Bitcoin as an unregulated currency.  I think about it as a global interchange where each transaction is transparent, verified, and frictionless.  It can fundamentally change the systems we use for transactions, and that opportunity is immense."

I wrestled with the headline because at first glance it appears to break the highly reliable rule that the answer to any media headline posed as a question is "no". (Someone posted that here a month or so ago and cited the original author - I'm sorry but I haven't been able to trace the sources). Anyway, the rule is surprisingly effective and usually gives one a chance to smile at any "hair on fire" headline.

My take on the present headline is that the rule still holds - a revolution is happening with BTC but most people are not looking yet.   Smiley

Nice one, I love it.  Smiley

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. 
This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".
