This is a great timeline of information. I had no idea about the block 74,638 bug, I wonder what would happen today if something like that occurred.

Bitcoin is really a great technology. I'm constantly learning something new about you. I guess I won't find out completely.

I don't know who Satoshi is. Honestly, I'm not interested. I look at what they've done and I see that it's a great system and it certainly deserves the Nobel prize.

Thanks for the nice and informative article.

There must be some faucet millionaires out there, well deserved for being early adopters.

“The vast majority of the world's inhabitants have heard of Bitcoin at least once in their lives. . I don't have any specific numbers to back up this statement, but that's my feeling.”

What a perfect start to anything written about BitCoin: a) it is patently untrue and b) it’s ok to say so because, what the heck, just say it and fools will follow. And then everything after meets the same truth test: none.

Beautful.
