   Great article. You statement about “has fluctuated between a high of $33 per Bitcoin to less than a $1.00″ is either inaccurate or misleading. You can find a more accurate explanation here: stuffexists.com/numbers/

   Yes, good article, well written too.

   You completely misrepresent what the political spectrum consists of, though, by your wording of “on the left” and “on the right”. Unless you mean it. Are you actually saying that the left is (mostly?) composed of “liberals and progressives” that want “more, better government” and the right are libertarians dreaming about the dissolution of the state?
