Wow.  One click from Aol.com to the article! 

I love the irony of a Citi ad on the page also...  Citi is paying the website which just featured an article about the monetary system that will destroy Citi. 

Bitcoin is in the aol mail top stories too.

Two ways to look at this...

1) It's highly unlikely that anyone still using AOL will be competent enough to even understand Bitcoin at the point, letalone use it.

or

2) If we've come so far that even AOLers are aware of us, we've come pretty damn far.

Not sure which I'm sticking with just yet...

That's the correct one. Just look at the comments on the article and you'll understand why lol

Despite the overall solid tone of the article, I felt from it and from recent media a kind of too much blaiming to EUR in contast with USD.

While they both deserve such attitude.

Can you agree?

An analogy: AOL was to the Internet in the past as PayPal is to Bitcoin today.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL

The irony.

I dont think the Euro will cease to be traded as a currency for a long time, at least in some countries of the EU.
I also dont think bitcoin will cease to be traded, but it may loose much value in the long run and in market crashes for a number of reasons the Euro is safe from experiencing, like being declared illegal in some jurisdictions, having to fade besides a better alternative (bitcoin 2.0?), being hacked all the time (ok bitcoin has not been hacked as a scource code, but it is still thinkable, while the Euro cannot be hacked in any way. How do you want to hack a bill?).

To summarize my unrequested thoughts: Euro kind of save, BTC a fucking rollercoaster ride with some parts of the track missing.
Lets go rollercoaster!

Simple. You hack the mind who help make the bill in the first place.
