"not requiring trust in any middle man"

And yet, we have these middlemen like Coinbase and what not. IN theory, decentralized currency is awesome. In practice, almost impossible. Novel idea for sure but it is time we admit that it cannot be implemented without middlemen.

You don't necessarily need Coinbase etc, but yes, they do make everything easier. I meant that you still need to trust the miners who have centralized and aren't guaranteed to be trustworthy.
