Does anyone here use Bitcoins?
TaoPhoenix:
I wouldn't call it a Fiasco, since I bet a few smart people are making a bundle on the fluctuations.
Just overall, a "imaginary digital new form of money"?! Really?! The main thing for me is how it "survived" this long in our "OMG Terrorist" age, except if a few Powers That Be saw a few million bucks profit by playing a Long Game.

@Mouser: In the dark recesses of my memory, I believe now it was an article from an issue of Paranoia Magazine (I was quite the conspiracy buff in my youth). Perhaps issue #7 (I remember reading the Chappaquiddick article), the "Funny Money" article (maybe, can't read the rest on the cover scan).
If anybody cares to read a real Libertarian wet dream novel about an economic revolution succeeding

Bleh.
Bitcoins is an example of someone with IQ 150 behind the math, who will lure in the geek crowd, and someone else with IQ 180 behind the Social Construct campaign, who will fleece them to make a killing!
