Ragnar- one of the few newbies not on my ignore list

Careful. He (Ragnar/Fallling) is garnering your trust. Once your defenses are down, he'll betray you in a dramatic true-believer-realizing-he's-been-duped about-face.
Treacherous, these trolls

Haha. Has that happened before? I know fonzie went the other way. It would require a rather big setback to make me think bitcoin will fail. I can't foresee any such setback other than the breaching of SHA256 or an unfixable flaw in the code - both of which seem ridiculously unlikely.
However, I don't think bitcoin will be the government-slayer I thought it was. I am even becoming concerned that it may turn into a tool of terrible oppression. I still love Madame Bitcoin but I
suspect her of infidelity.

Architecture defines the political landscape... and therefore society, this is true if that is centralisation of money, communications, data or oil, water etc.
(the less centralisation the better imo)
