Bitcoin is a P2P currency that could topple governments, destabilize economies and create uncontrollable global bazaars for contraband. (...) After month of research and discovery, we've learned the following:
1. Bitcoin is a technologically sound project.
2. Bitcoin is unstoppable without end-user prosecution.
3. Bitcoin is the most dangerous open-source project ever created.
4. Bitcoin may be the most dangerous technological project since the internet itself.
5. Bitcoin is a political statement by technotarians (technological libertarians).*
6. Bitcoins will change the world unless governments ban them with harsh penalties.

Sounds like a rigorous scientific study

So basically you're doing this for company scrip, except there's no company store.

Good to know!

The company store would be the world economy, if these damned Big Government Regulations wern't stomping on our faces.

I just picked up like 130 bitcoins in Super Mario Bros. 3.

MMO currency is actually a pretty interesting example of an alternative currency. WoW players aren't attempting to topple the world's economic system, however.
