Here's a vacation reading recommendation on the subject of connectedness and unplugging: Hamlet's Blackberry by William Powers. It's the best meditation I've seen on 'finding balance,' which can be a trite genre.

I agree. This is a point I make when I talk to policymakers. There is no stopping Bitcoin. All regulators can do is hobble its legal uses domestically. That helps no one.

I don't know yet. I'm optimistic that at least regulators and members of Congress are not overreacting the way we initially saw Sen. Schumer overreact to the Silk Road story, for example. At the conference regulators and law enforcement all echoed Shasky Calvery saying they understood the amazing potential of Bitcoin even if there are some bad uses, so that's good. But then you also heard some pretty unhelpful comments like the one i quote above.

So what I see are just very tentative steps on all sides. I didn't expect FinCEN to redo its guidance, but at least they're signaling that they're willing to talk about. So I hope the Bitcoin community does get in touch with them and does start asking questions about particular use cases. We need to get them to state publicly how they interpret the rules and the guidance in particular cases. If they refuse, then there are other steps the community can pursue.

The only regulations I mean are privacy regulations, not air safety. I think that's pretty clear in the article.

Dalibor-

Excellent article! As I say in my last piece, I definitely think the vanguard of Brooklyn hipsters have made frugality fashionable for the rest of us.

One minor nitpick: You write, "According to Jerry, when people pick Zara suits over Brioni, and food trucks over lunches at Michelin-starred restaurants, they do so in order to enjoy more time off work." My point is actually quite different. It's not just that one might choose to work fewer hours, it's that you might choose to work at a lower paying--but more satisfying--job, such as think tank analyst or political journalist or designer. You might end up working MORE hours, but what you do might as well be leisure to you.

Cheers!

Re: Business Insider: Here's Why Venture Capitalists Want To Make Bitcoin The 'Next Big Thing' 2 hours ago

I love how all these VC-backed bitcoin competitors are not decentralized. Also, to avoid bitcoin's regulation, I'm not sure global charities are at the top of the list one must convince to use the currency since I'm not sure they have much lobbying power. If you could convince any business or institution to adopt bitcoin in order to help stave off regulation, who would that be?
