Bitcoin, the Darknet Economy, and the Low Over-Head Revolution

Kevin Carson at The Bitcoin Sun - Mr. Carson is very optimistic about Bitcoin, or something similar, very soon making it impossible to control the economy by force. I hope he's right.

Bitcoin's importance can't be exaggerated. Encrypted currency has been at the Altair stage of development. If Bitcoin isn't actually the Apple II - and it may not be - we're very close to it. If Bitcoin isn't the Messiah of the darknet economy, at the very least it's John the Baptist preaching its immanent arrival.

I'm interested. It's trading. It's growing.

No matter that it's not backed. The U.S.$ isn't either.

Digital money--good for digital warez. Or, it's worth
what it can be traded for.

Physicals must be delivered. F2F returns... and so may
physical money-- PMs.
