OK, I admit to a fascination with BC. This article: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/02/17/regulato
rs-and-hackers-put-bitcoin-to-the-test/ has the advantage of being written by a non-techie and looking at recent failures, along with an eye towards its possible outcomes. Outside the tech, the main puzzle for me is how to deal with the extreme volatility. I sorta keep my eye on the Euro to plan for when I pay for my skype italian classes. Futures so to speak. I think the one thing, beyond tech, that will hobble BC is this two sided interest: one as speculation, one for a universal currency. Extreme inflation/deflation is bound to kill it if it is not controllable. -- Owen
