dear colleagues, fellow researchers, p2p enthusiasts<br>
<br>
yesterday I've had a funny experience for the first time seeing the<br>
biggest amount of suits ever gathered in the same room :) while<br>
accompanying my friend Genjix, a bitcoin developer invited to talk<br>
about this digital born monetary system.<br>
<br>
this is the article that came out of it, trying to shed some light on<br>
interesting aspects I've caught so far, feel free to spread around it<br>
to anyone interested<br>

<br>
the attempt is to round up on some reflections matured around the<br>
concept of crypto-currency and might serve as a balanced account on<br>
the implications that such a "disruptive technology" has for<br>
societies, especially in dense settlements, a theme i'm planning to<br>
further develop in future, with your kind support :)<br>
