I agree the tides are turning -- we need a Bitcoin PR person to do a podcast with Lew.  The idea of money having to arise out of a commodity is far more tenuous than the idea that money is anything the market wants it to be.  Clearly there are a growing number of people who believe Bitcoins are money and will continue to use it as such.

Edit: On a side note anyone know anyone over at www.zerohedge.com?  A good post by Tyler Durden would go a long way and seems like a natural fit . . .
