its a way to convert digital shared hallucinations into fiat
denominated shared hallucinations.

for an example exchange in BTC network:

you can generate your own wallet and use your own client directly in
network, or use a managed wallet service, or a conversion service that
immediately converts into $USD denominated deposits in a bank account,
or exchange for physical token representations of the coin/funds, etc.

http://lovebitcoins.org/ is probably the most accessible place to start,
 and github where the good forks are if you're in the ready to hack camp.


if you setup a wallet and tell me the address, i can donate coins for
you to experiment with.
