Maybe, just maybe some of you will see what we mean when we point out the flaws the crypto-currency network has will be dealt with in the future.

Funny that the newspapers were pumped about the internet. They had no idea what kind of giant they would be up against.

A rather telling comment in that video was that this experiment featured everything other than "pictures, ads and the comics".
At the time, those items were what drove sales. A sly comment by the reporter.

When people talk about "new" technologies in a manner that demonstrates their inability to get past the technology's current limitations always makes me laugh.
Here is another great article written by Clifford Stoll in 1995. Even in 1995 people had trouble comprehending the possibilities of the internet.

I find it funny that currently people are saying similar things about digital currencies and 3D printing as they did about the internet.
I don't know that Bitcoin will be the future, but the technology behind Bitcoin most certainly will. What will be interesting to see is if Bitcoin and other digital Currencies will be able to survive when JP Morgan and eventually other banks implement their own payment networks utilizing the same type of technology. Additionally, it will be interesting to see if these exchanges will be able to get over the regulatory hurdles that will most certainly be increasing over the next year or two.
