Sorry. Not a dorky paranoid liberal type here. Me, i don't see any use for cryptocurrencies outside of darknet contraband trade/money laundering. Any politician excited about cryptocurrencies would probably use them to receive untraceable bribes. The idea that a public company (i'm talking about Mt. Gox) can hold an asset that can magically disappear without a trace and still receive bankruptcy protection from the government (without the ceo being arrested for theft) is a joke.
i admit it's nice from an engineering standpoint and maybe if this imaginary liberal (does that word even mean anything concrete anymore?) utopia some people seem to be living in was true, it would actually be useful to people who don't want to wait 45 minutes at the supermarket checkout for their crypto-monopoly-money transaction to confirm.
