I'm definitely not in the anti-college crowd, but I'd have to say that academia isn't the final judge over tech ideas. Plenty of great ideas start outside of that realm. Not to say that Bitcoin is or isn't a good idea.

To this meta comment, my response is: It is true that some good ideas rise from non-academics. However, if you have an extensive view on academic literature you will also know that any idea that enters the spotlight (like Bitcoin) usually gets picked up by the academic community and gets examined. This never happened to Bitcoin.
