Forms of Democracy and Bitcoin
Bitcoin has now been around for more than a decade and yet policy lags far behind. At first it was a gimmick. Even when it was worth a couple of thousand, the scoffs from the financial world were palpable. Regardless the social/economic experiment which is bitcoin has recently gained unprecedented ground.
