Bitcoin in 2011 & the Words of Prophet Jason Calacanis

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

From 2011 video: Why decentralized, peer-to-peer bitcoin is the rocking foundation:

From Jason Calacanis, an early prophet on what would happen, and has happened:

  1. Bitcoin is a technologically sound project.
  2. Bitcoin is unstoppable without end-user prosecution.
  3. Bitcoin is the most dangerous open-source project ever created.
  4. Bitcoin may be the most dangerous technological project since the internet itself.
  5. Bitcoin is a political statement by technotarians (technological libertarians).*
  6. Bitcoins will change the world unless governments ban them with harsh penalties.

Calacanis' full essay is here:

Also in 2011, on TechCrunch.com, Jon Evans gives his own take -- an interesting answer to Calacanis:
