People think my tinfoil hat is on too tight, but I've always suspected something bigger behind bitcoin.

Where are you presenting?

Hmmm.  Not sure if that's it, but it'll do.  I'm slotted for an informal presentation at the Property and Freedom Society Conference.  The audience will be more economists and libertarians than techies.

ps -- My guess is that the NSA is NOT behind bitcoin.  They've simply had the best cryptographers money could buy for decades, and those guys recognized the potential.
