Bitcoin is a Disruptive Technology and...
Don’t ‘Write Off’ Bitcoin
(I wasn't sure if this short article deserves a new thread)

Former Obama Advisor Larry Summers to Critics: Don’t ‘Write Off’ Bitcoin
http://www.coindesk.com/former-obama-advisor-larry-summers-critics-dont-write-bitcoin
Former Secretary of the US Treasury, World Bank chief economist and Obama administration economic advisor Larry Summers has weighed in on the subject of digital currency in a new interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Though Summers didn’t take a definitive stance on bitcoin, he did caution critics not to dismiss new and potentially disruptive technologies.

I do not think Bitcoin as a Disruptive Technology but more of an aid.

Bitcoin is potentially the most Disruptive Technology since the invention of the printing press.
Within ~5 to 15 years we will know how amazing this story will be.  Smiley
