RE: Erik Voorhees on "Is Bitcoin the Future of Money?"
So far, the influence of the crypto-currency on the global economy is too weak, it is probably one more tool for speculation, and therefore no benefit to ordinary people. The idea, the slogan is certainly very positive, decentralize the influence of the state, that is, those in power on simple "mortals," but in life yet, at least does not work.
Try reading some Thomas Spence. The only "philosopher" ever to get their works banned in the UK. Even Marx and Kropotkin weren't banned. There isn't much surviving but what does survive is about localism.
