Quote from: PaymentsSource
Alan Reiner, 30, thought he wouldn't find any career more interesting than missile defense simulations, but the self-described nerd left physics recently to work full-time on an ultra-secure Bitcoin wallet, Armory.

Bitcoin, a decentralized virtual currency, "has a lot more benefit to humanity than missile defense does," Reiner says. "There's a richness [in Bitcoin] that hasn't been tapped yet. You know that rumor that you only use 10% of your brain, that's kind of how Bitcoin is; there's so much more it can do."

Great stuff!  Grin

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
...
...
In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber
...

ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)
...

The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to develop a secure platform like Armory. Oh wait... it does Tongue

Was waiting for that. LOL

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.
