From baron@pigdog.org Fri Jul 6 02:33:54 2018 From: Baron Earl To: cypherpunks-legacy@lists.cpunks.org Subject: [Pigdog] Forbes on Bitcoin - praise for its financial innovation Date: Fri, 06 Jul 2018 02:33:54 +0000 Message-ID: <172289096857.3849117.17029521108782214080.generated@mail.pglaf.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============2036980932878388682==" --===============2036980932878388682== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Not what I would expect from Forbes. "Thereb=19s a lot of talk about dongles recently. Square has always relied on a dongle and now PayPal is sporting a fancy triangle-shaped dongle, nicknamed the b=18Blue Doritob=19. Both of these dongles equip your mobile phone to accept and process credit cards securely by inserting the device into the smartphoneb=19s 3.5mm audio input jack. Apparently, this passes for financial innovation in mobile payments but I file it under the b=18not-disruptive-enoughb=19 category. Truly-disruptive financial innovation is already here with decentralized bitcoin. And, bitcoin doesnb=19t need a dongle!" http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/03/24/bitcoin-doesnt-need-a-dongl= e/ P.S.
