To me this whole process shows how great cryptocurrencies really are. The process is live, it is public and it is messy. Compare with how our usual currencies are handled. Behind closed doors with powerful banks or private companies deciding for our governments.

Exactly! Could you imagine if we could watch a live twitter fueled debate about how to upgrade our central banking system? It's a beautiful sight. Flawed, but beautiful.

  With an up-to-the-second, 24-hour market behind it where fortunes can be made or lost on single tweets. Fun!

    Fiat isn't much different. Forex is 24h a day and jumps around on central banker quotes all the time.

At the same time, I'm glad this doesn't happen with the federal reserve, because I enjoy stable value in my day to day currency.
