Disclaimer, I know the Bitquest guys. > Don't get me wrong I've found people occasionally say things like that right before they make a comment full of dissonance, such as "this is cool, but I'm concerned about X". When we try to simulate a new thing so completely we find all the flaws in it, we paralyze ourselves by creating dissonance that is unresolvable. With Bitcoin this happens frequently because money, or stored trust, is a common source of dissonance (i.e. who wants to lose money? Answer, nobody.) Even thought it has historically had some rough beta testing periods, Bitquest has shown itself to be an extremely interesting concept to explore. It is a game and it's Open Source, so I would expect discussions to focus on the positive aspects of Bitcoin, not the negative ones. Recognizing dissonance in the conversations being had around a given technology and keeping the discussion going is where the cool stuff happens. P.S. I take credit for the land ownership idea. :) I still think it needs a timer on it though.
