Hi Hendrick, thanks for taking the time to respond.

Enrique never doing the same is fine by me, it is a policy practiced by more than just he, it seems to work for some, but I bet they read responses, and that has some effect on what they might write about in the future.

But it is cool academics are starting to freely ruminate on Bitcoin.

It is a technology which did not come from the formal academic community, at least not in the formal way, therefore was largely ignored there for a long time.

I was a little surprised myself on first confirming this, but hey-ho, onwards and upwards, we can only do what we can to help things along I think.

The mathematical angle might entice more in, to thinking more about the actual consequences of Bitcoin and its ilk, than maybe just its attraction initially as an instrument of wealth redistribution, it actually is an instrument of wealth conversion.

The full beauty, and irony of it, is that it uses the very instinct of humans to scarcify, to achieve the exact opposite, in the longer term, and that, I think, is almost proof of something of an extraterrestrial origin.

It is surely no accident.
