QQ: when you say you're a believer in the potential of Bitcoin, do you mean BC itself, crypto-currency, or decentralized and fee-less ways to pay for things and exchange funds? Is it the extra-governmental aspect of BC that you like or what being extra-governmental has allowed it to be?

I mean that I believe in the fundamental need of BTC, the potential for significant adoption and the reality that it can be simplified for all consumers. I think BTC will win out versus other crypto-currencies because its adoption thus far, which makes it hard for a secondary one to scale beyond BTC. I own and wish I doubled down earlier...
