Bloomberg is talking about bitcoin being more than just a currency. That bitcoin is rather more like 'The Internet of Money'. I think this quote is attributed to Bitcoin business angels group BitAngels - David Johnston. It is actually a very interesting notion. While the conventional Internet is a mechanism for doing many cool things with information (content), i.e. facebook, videos, email, Skype, MMOG, et cetera, bitcoin actually supports an infrastructure which will permit one to do so many cool things with value (money). The "Internet of Money". I like that. Obviously bitcoin is going to be insanely powerful in this regard. I just hope it doesn't take 20 years the way it took the internet that long to get to where it is now. (i.e. from 1994 / Netscape - Thanks Marc) http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-03-28/bitcoin-2-0-shows-technology-evolving-beyond-use-as-money.html

(i.e. from 1994 / Netscape - Thanks Mark) Expect widespread global mainstream adoption within 2-5 years. The Bitcoin protocol will continue evolving forever, just as the internet and its related technologies are still evolving today. Think of the blockchain like the foundation, just like HTML is the foundation for all the internet that was built on top of it. Any software engineer will tell you, no software is ever "complete".

If successful, the new tools could reduce the fees shouldered by buyers and sellers in the $1.22 trillion global electronic-commerce market, as well in financial services, cloud computing and other areas. They use the word underlying several times in the article for a reason, some of these companies are taking Bitcoin's open source code and essentially replicating it for their own use. Nothing wrong with that, but they're not all using Bitcoin itself, they're using the fundamental code and adapting it to their business model (i.e. Ripple).

TCP-IP for financial transactions - I love it. But the protocol is presently very weak and disorganized with a bunch of loonies running the foundation. I don't think the foundation in the present state is strong enough to protect and advance a protocol for something so important as money. I think the foundation - rather than a technical defect will be the ultimate demise of bitcoin. Now let's try to imagine what the second embodiment of 'the foundation' could be? UN, US government?, Private company?, a new replacement foundation of better quality? Whatever it is, it will be forming itself pretty soon.

Thats a very good point. I believe we are at the very tip of what will become a huge ice berg. There are so many underlying aspects that bitcoin can carry and evolve too. Whether they like it or not it is already out of their control, unless this was all part of their plan

No doubt that companies, especially banks will look at the technology behind Bitcoin and try to replicate it into something governments can regulate easier.

Technology moves faster today than it did 20 years ago and it gets faster all the time. I do think Bitcoin has the potential to be 'The Internet of Money' though.

Please don't let Ripple gain traction.
They will advertise Bitcoin being really important, and a great foundation for our superior system that is designed to replace it.
