Bitcoin is not a very good money. It is a pure fiat money (no backing), whose value comes from limited supply plus these demands. As such it has the huge price fluctuations we see. It's an electronic version of gold, and the price variation should be a warning to economists who long for a return to  gold. My bet is that stable-value cryptocurrencies, offering one dollar per currency unit and low transactions costs, will prosper in the role of money. At least until there is a big inflation or sovereign debt crisis and a stable-value cryptocurrency not linked to government debt emerges.

'Satoshi doesn't want the credit. Two years later he walked away and left the pseudonym behind. And hard as this may be to believe, it looks like he doesn't even want to be paid for it. As far as we can tell he mined approximately a million Bitcoins and has never sold a single one of them.'

And this forces us to ignore unpleasant contradictions or to deny obvious facts outright. It causes cognitive dissonance and we resolve this uncomfortable feeling in our minds and souls in whatever way we can, just to make it stop.

Partisans from both ends of the political spectrum are constantly forced to do this and always have been throughout history. What’s different this time is the degree to which Republicans are being forced to twist their minds into pretzels in order to get through the day. It’s unprecedented. And it’s not just the degree – it’s the sheer amount of times they’re being forced to by their party’s choice for President. No other US President has ever put the members of his party through something like this. The psychological damage will persist long after the constant lies and controversy begin to fade.
