yea but my view here is that you don't need to understand cryptography to derive the value of a Bitcoin. It is akin to other currency systems that have come before it. the crypto aspects are new, sure, & provide a good infrastructure that may give it staying power but the cryptography shouldn't actually be where the value comes from. I think a sound economic analysis of the market can be done regardless of the transactional method. sure, it's clever but its a feature of a value store, not actual value
