Los Angeles Daily News explaining Bitcoin to its readership - and it's the future!

"math-based currencies like Bitcoin, which enable transactions from one user to another without official oversight or high fees, could upset the centuries-old tradition of paper money — much as user-generated Wikipedia all but replaced the venerable Encyclopaedia Britannica."

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

I prefer to see it as a way to disrupt ossified power networks from gaining more power, and even reversing the effect of decades of corruption around the world.

Bitcoin, its a bullshit-buster, the 'scrubbing bubbles' from the internet ready to swarm down and turn that corpulent paid off politician into a gleaming skeleton of irrelevance.

I love how the syndicating paper has a whole separate "Virtual Exchange" category! Not sure that's how I'd do it, but maybe the people that would wrinkle their nose and turn the page if it said "Finance & Economics" might be more likely to read it as a novelty...
