My poor neck. The GNU-project really should get to work on creating software capable of rotating images. Hopefully we will get to it just as soon as the Hurd is finished.

Crimean Tartars are a substantial group in Crimea as well, and they (for historical reasons) are very sceptical of the Russians.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crimean_Tatar_2001-num.svg

His writings on foreign policy and economics is also incompetent garbage. One datapoint is his support for the Iraq war. But really why he still has a column in the NYT is a mystery.

I see from the article that people in the middle east write dd-mm-yyyy But they read right to left. So does that mean that they really write yyyy-mm-dd (like all sensible people should, I might add :-) but read it right to left or that they

IF it ever were to be used as a currency. Obviously the author knows that a central bank is not a part of bitcoin today or ever could be. So his whole point is that it can never be used as a currency.

From your other comments you seem to be paid in USD but your employer buys bitcoin for you each month and gives you that. You could buy the bitcoin yourself each salary day and nothing would change.

The author obviously understands that Bitcoin has no central bank - his point is that if it ever were to be used as a currency it would need one. Would you like your salary paid in bitcoins? You wouldn't know from one month to the next

Currencies are stable (and losing 2% value per year) because governments actively manage the supply of money to keep it stable in the face of very volatile demand (caused by what Keynes called "animal spirits". Since demand will
