     @jk @jwz I heard a talk in Berlin about it the same year on a Berlin/germany hacker conference. This dude said it would be the future of democracy. I asked him what he does with it. He said he uses it to deal meth on the internet in order to buy weapons for his nazi militia in Oregon. Yeah. That was the end for me, before it even began.
