just yesterday i've managed to enter an high profile 2k entrance fee
banker's conference together with my friend Genjix, also a bitcoin
developer.

it was fun because i've also dismissed bitcoin a year ago, mostly
considering it a "Rube-Goldberg" machine for consuming electricity, as
some online article calls it. but then with this occasion i've had the
chance to see the reaction of old-world bankers to bitcoin, as well to
look better into its code and implications.

the result is this article, hope you like it:

where i've done my best to formulate all the thoughts i've gathered so
far on this technology. feel free to spread around, might be
interesting to revamp the discussion on slashdot, after a while...

ciao
