here we have a peek that Bitcoin may in fact sneek in the backdoor and become the world's reserve currency unbeknownst to the IMF and banksters. they are adopting the Andreas way of looking at Bitcoin (the currency as simply the first app), which i still maintain is fundamentally in error: There was recognition that such protocols could serve as an “initial layer” upon which platforms of fully blown payment systems could be built.http://www.coindesk.com/imf-world-bank-panellists-discuss-block-chains-potential/let them start building and come to the realization that the blockchain can't work w/o the currency. Not just the first app, the foundation app. that's a much better way to put it.

Hey Cypher - looks to me like the gold/btc correlation is pretty strongly positive. Even over months + time frame. Look different to you? Is this just due to dollar moves or more fundamental?

Compare that to learning esperanto (2+ years), or even accepting a credit card (a week+ for the signup & to receive the reader, etc).

This is yet another instance of the common misunderstanding among finance/econ people that the currency and the blockchain are separable. But it's good that these people are seeing value in "the underlying technology". They did not 2 years ago. And I suspect that sometime in the next 2 years or so, it's going to dawn on a lot of these people that you can't use the technology without the unit/currency.

Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

I tend to wear some bitcoin bling most of the time. A key chain, a pin, something. I get a question about it from a stranger. Rather than answer, I offer to show them. "Do you have a phone? A smart phone?" And it goes from there. 5 minutes later, they have some bitcoin, and something to show off to their friends. They are hooked.

The way i see it:
Bitcoin's disruptive app: blockchain Bitcoin's fondamental app: unit of account Bitcoin's killer app: decentralized trustlessness
Combined, these somehow reminds me of the Trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Bond together. Forever.

But I think it's going to happen a lot faster. Once you see value in the underlying technology it's only a matter of time before you tie things together. The world is now getting condition that the blockchain is amazing..and bitcoin..well it's just an app that may or may not survive. It shouldn't take long to flip the switch and realize that bitcoin's value makes the blockchain work. I like what I'm seeing..just need a "AHA" moment before the masses rush in. The infrastructure is getting to the point where it's almost capable of handling the rush.

Not just the first app, the foundation app. If you ask me, the only app. Other app types may have a need for distribution and security, but that could have been (and have been) done before nakamotos whitepaper. The money is the invention, an invention that the world sorely needs.

I am so confused in this world of race-to-the-QE-bottom, and where US, EU, China, Russia pairs have serious trust issues why these IMF economists don't realize that Bitcoin the currency is the only solution. Even a currency backed by gold fails because gold must sit in a vault in some country and could be filled with tungsten rods as soon as the inspector is gone. In fact, its so obvious that I think these guys are actually using blockchain-as-a-technology as a way to assess sentiment. There is either going to be NO global currency, or its going to be bitcoin...

The infrastructure is getting to the point where it's almost capable of handling the rush. The infrastructure is better, but not there yet. There are also certain segments of the population that will rush in before others. Full adoption could take a few decades. A first objection I often hear is that people don't want smartphones. Sure, you could do an sms wallet, but is there one that legally operates in the US?

I need a tee that says "Ask me about BTC" or "I'll sell you some BTC". I don't want some politically edgy slogan, and I don't want to pay $25 + shipping for a $5 shirt. Same for keychain or pin. What did you buy?

The bitcoin price is now being covered by mass media. The love a climbing price so imo if we break into the 500's in the next 1-2 weeks we'll begin a huge rally off of the new found understanding of bitcoin and purely for the fact that we're going up...and we're much lower than where we came from. When people on cnbc are recommending bitcoin and their picks blow the other picks out of the water..people start listening http://www.cnbc.com/id/102078625
