* (who previously stated pearls like: "There is no certainty that the supply of bitcoins will follow the original rules, these rules have already been changed and presume a trust in the ones able to issue the currency. In many countries, printing money is a state privilege that will come to bite in the future as this, like gambling, is regulated for good reasons." in the middle of a supposedly informed and serious analysis: http://www.businessinsider.com/sebastien-galy-on-valuing-bitcoins-2013-4)
