Looks like a pitch for "your chance to get in on the ground floor" type of thing... this is BY NO MEANS an endorsement. Provided FYI for academic purposes only.
For a group of people who supposedly have a grand dream of saving the world with some kind of state-free and corporation-free people's currency, the Bitcoiners have a remarkable addiction to describing the functioning of their system in the kind of techie-speak that only an IT cubical denizen could love.

Hard to argue against this whole thing in light of the way the Cyprus precedent is currently looking....

Transactions in Bitcoin are peanuts, and the hard ceiling on Bitcoins is fixed at 21 million in 2040. Bitcoin is never going to be a major player due to its limited size. It's the testing of a concept.
