Cypherpunks have been after digital money for years as is easily seen in the archives. It was an obsession for list founder Mongo. Btw Hal Finney was a c-punk. And Btc was created outside the states purview - for all its faults that is a powerful piece of crypto-anarchist infrastructure.  Not a scam - not wasteful in context - and an inspiration for others in our line of anarchism. As long as it keeps running Satoshi deserves a prospect kut ( for the sons of anarchy here - all three of us ) SHOW SOME FUCKING RESPECT! You come in here and diss us and our greatest creations at your own peril, FUCKFACE! When APster goes viral you're dead, PF - YOU HEAR ME! YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD!
