I think a big problem tho is that the definition of the word "socialism" varies wildly depending on who you talk to. When I say, "big problem" I don't mean with the article itself, but rather it will be a big barrier to reaching an audience to which it isn't essentially preaching to the choir.

I have a good friend that is a true Marxist and his definition of socialism is completely different than another friend of mine that supports Bernie and wants single-payer and other things but fundamentally still a "capitalist" society. I tend to side with my Marxist friend (and the author of this post) on the definition tho.

Bitcoin (or generally crypto-currencies) is definitely a game-changer for freedom. I suspect quite soon governments around the world will begin to understand this and there will be a huge push for regulation. All in the name of "stopping the criminals." Whether crypto-currencies can survive this, will have long, long lasting ramifications on the freedom of mankind.
