Every once in a while, some giant, paradigm-shifting idea emerges from the ether. Google changed the way we seek and retrieve information, Facebook changed the way we connect and now, I believe Bitcoin will change the way we exchange. Though I’ve been following and using BTC for a while, I believe we are now on the precipice of a major inflection point in both the sheer number of people who use it, are aware of it, or will try to regulate it. Over the next little while, we’ll be discussing its potential and their ramifications–suffice it to say, my imagination might be getting ahead of me but this just might save the US Post and concomitantly reduce gang-related violence in one fell swoop. At present, this is really a currency to get people around the modern-day version of a speakeasy; Tor–the encrypted, anonymous, seedy underbelly of the internet–pretty much the digital equivalent of Mos Eisley.
