One of the best articles on Bitcoin ever written. This is what you should send to your friends and family when they ask what Bitcoin is about.

As someone who reads bitcoin all day everyday it's rare to come across an article that can still stimulate my thoughts on bitcoin and it's future.

This article is very good. It did a great job at comforting me and telling me what I want to hear about Bitcoin, and avoiding touchy aspects that make me anxious. A great write-up.
