Well stated edicted, I've been around a long time and I have seen the shift from:
"F the man, we can p2p our currency!"
to
"Oh yeah!! Comex is picking up Bitcoin"
to
"Come on Banks and Countries, use Bitcoin"
I'm like... uhhhh wasn't it the point that we didn't have all of this... you don't NEED any of it... it was supposed to be independent, where the people put the value on the coin, due to its utility... rather than the people being told how much their currency is worth...
But oh well... we shall see :)
