E-Money (That's What I Want) (1994)
- 20tibbygt06 12y ago"My fellow passenger and tour guide is David Chaum, the bearded and ponytailed founder of DigiCash, and the inventor of cryptographic protocols that could catapult our currency system into the 21st century. They may, in the process, shatter the Orwellian predictions of a Big Brother dystopia, replacing them with a world in which the ease of electronic transactions is combined with the elegant anonymity of paying in cash." Reading that and understanding that this was written in 1994 is quite surreal.

- rdl 12y agoI still slightly regret completely eschewing Bitcoin until 2013 because it's inferior to Chaumian ecash on the dimensions I care about. I do still have more faith in blinded token ecash vs. anything else.
