Ok I am pulling out of this dispute (not my fight and I regret getting involved)

For the record my own potential biases are as follows.
1) I own no bitcoins and thus I am more likely to be more supportive of something new.
2) A lot of my personal income is indirectly derived from socialism and the social safety net.

Where I stand on the multiple disputes discussed so far is as follows.

A) Overall economic theory regarding Knowledge Age:
In Agreement: After spending much time reviewing this I find the theory sound

B) Technical critique of Bitcoins flaws:
Undecided: I don't have sufficient technical knowledge of bitcoin to judge for myself. All those who do have said knowledge have either an agenda or a vested interest.

C) Need for Anonyminity:
In Agreement (reluctantly): This has some major major downsides but I have been unable to think of a better solution to the power vacuum.

D) Regarding existence of a power elite:
Extremely Skeptical: The post with all the links was an challeng to my argument that they do not exist. As it was a response to my challenge I will read them all (sigh) and see if that changes my mind... eventually (probably not this week).
