Despite his cynicism regarding a virtual currency marketplace, Summers disparaged bitcoin critics by saying they are “on the wrong side of history.”

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

“Very serious economists thought that the Internet was going to be no more important than the fax machine so I’m not willing to dismiss Bitcoin. At the same time, I do think it’s important to recognize that it can’t and won’t flourish as a way of avoiding legal protections.”

Paul Krugman, how do you feel now lol? Cheesy

Well he actually said something smart this time. Anyone writing off Bitcoin is doing a huge mistake.

I think anyone who writes it off really doesnt know what they're talking about. they don't have to think it's going to be the future of money but to say it's never going to go anywhere is just fear and ignorance more likely.
