Re:Bitcoins up another 42% since August 1st by shtylman on Thursday August 16, 2012 @10:00AM (#4391232)
It isn't just an idealogical itch against central banks. Controlling someone's money is a very powerful way to control them. Bitcoin is about empowering digital transactions without a controlling third party in the middle. Having ways to move money to anyone anywhere instantly is not something to shrug away lightly. Sure, maybe you have no use for them, but I can assure you that there are plenty of people, businesses, and entire sectors that benefit from their properties.
