“What I’ve discovered over the past 5 days or so I’ve spent on /r/Bitcoin is not a basket of naive, ideologically fueled freshmen that detractors like Gideon Samid airily dismiss as ‘The Bitcoin Delusion’, but a diffuse, sophisticated and above all ambitious sub-culture that is capable -through raw programming prowess, if nothing else – of changing the way people think about money. This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it’s an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.”
