If you are interested in the technological underpinnings of the bitcoin phenomena, you should check out the SecurityNow podcast on it. Personally, I think it's just an experimental currency... A blueprint for what might eventually happen in the future. But I highly doubt we will ever have a single currency that isn't controlled by any government, nor do I think it's a good idea. - Hans On 2013-04-10, at 11:04 AM, "Jim Lawrence" <accessd at shaw.ca> wrote: > My guess is "Bitcoin"... but this is hardly unusual. > > Any bets on the timing? > > Jim > > -----Original Message----- > From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com > [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Stuart McLachlan > Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2013 2:33 PM > To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues > Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Bitcoins > > Who can spell "bubble"? > > > > On 9 Apr 2013 at 9:48, Jim Lawrence wrote: > >> To All: >> >> It appears that as other currencies falter or as the market has been >> fluctuating.
