Mmm (4.00 / 2)
Good to see you posting Chris.

I lost interest in Bitcoin as a phenomenon the first time after the system got hacked. For what other reason would Bitcoin still be interesting than for people making/scheming a profit from them?

Re: Mmm (none / 0)
Some people - including Michel Bauwens - find Bitcoin useful for efficient and discreet value transfer.

For as long as 'it works', it will be used. To me the interesting thing about Bitcoin is the P2P architecture.
