"Every form of currency, since the very beginning of its existance, had to do with power: it is the establishment of a sovereign and its glory which justifies the shared trust into a symbolic form of value circulation. Since money is not anymore backed by a material value in metal, its glorification and the representation of commonly recognized symbols becomes an even more important issue."

"libbitcoin is vital for a bitcoin ecosystem. In the future we will need all kinds of bitcoin-esque applications; things that behave like bitcoin nodes but aren’t or do a specific task. libbitcoin is a piece of software that helps people achieve this goal."
"Me and ThomasV collaborated on a refactoring the Electrum server by building a framework for creating Stratum (slush's API) applications. Then we slotted in libbitcoin. For now it’s pre-alpha but we hope to have it replace the aging ABE backend in the future."

"I sold 99% of my gold and silver bullion last year in 2011 near the tops in both markets (accumulated between 2005-6) and moved it all into Bitcoin (hundreds of thousands of which I will be paying enormous taxes). I’m a firm believer in the new open source Internet paradigm and think it is high time for a new form of digital currency which is fixed in supply and not manipulated by governments or central banks. I’m diversified in real estate, cash, stocks (I’m short), and Bitcoin."

"Change is coming, and the cosy position that banks as institutions have enjoyed for so long is not secure, finding themselves tomorrow’s dinosaurs; huge, powerful, unwieldy, and eventually extinct. Overtaken by hordes of smaller creatures, nimbler and better able to adapt."
