They are NOT related subject. You are clearly NOT aware of this: http://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/message/33405247/ which again I fully support. Read it and if afterwards you only see the Bitcoin network as Ideal Money then you are clearly on a wrong path. Enjoy!

Ideal Money means money that is pegged to a perfect standard. I suspect me and you are in total agreement, or perhaps not, but what seems clear to me is we are about to make the concnesus that bitcoin should be a moderately tansactable asset, and that all of the high frequency transactions will be "bitcoin 2.0", such as the "universal poker coin" that is clearly going to come about and is so much needed for the igaming industry. They will be transactions that are on a "higher protocol" (or wherever you describe it) that Adam Smith refers to the creation of "live stock" in which gold cannot be, but gold serves as the highway for.

(and btw, I am the only one here so well read on the lecture topic Ideal Money, and I do suggest the lecture talks about this very dialogue and decision we face at this very moment)

Too bad that you spent so much time with Ideal Money but you haven't read or haven't understood what's JGarzik is saying. Let me highlight the important part for you:

Bitcoin is a settlement system, by design.

Of course that you can disagree, but it doesn't mean it transforms to reality only because you want it so.

I said a few pages ago that everyone should be able to use the blockchain

Yeah, and that's retarded.

And having a blockchain that is available only to the highest bidders isn't retarded?

I was trying to agree on the fact that we need bigger block limits. Do you agree with what JGarzik posted on the Mailing List? If yes then we both agree that we need a bigger block limit which is fine with me. It's the only thing that I'm advocating for.
