IMO - Humans are societal creatures, so anarchy tends to be a fleeting aberration when it does occur. I can not find the link right now but I read an interesting article about the evolution of societies that postulated that as Humans in a group "survived" better than "loners", individuals with this genetic predisposition became the norm and loners continue to this day to be viewed as outsiders. I'm sure there are plenty of other postulations arguing the reverse.

Status: everybody's hashing at something nobody knows what it is (casually defined as "nothing"), with an algorithm designed by NSA.
Question: what is the Bitcoin project's goal?
If you come up with an answer in less than 5 minutes the next automatic question is "Do you really believe that?"
JimH:
The goal seems to be to establish a new currency.
Do I believe it? I do believe it's the goal. I don't know if it's possible. I definitely don't trust it yet. But I didn't see the point of color monitors when they first came on the scene.
KingSparta:
I had color monitors too, one had green text, the other had yellow text.

Overstock.com is going to accept Bitcoin:

For whatever it's worth, reading the comments from the CEO makes me less likely to order from Overstock.com in the future.
