God damned Drudge report spotted these two stories:
US Debt increased more under Geithner than under any other Treasury secretary in US history. (Though, that statement does simplify the nature of monetary matters somewhat via its assumptions.)
And now, on top of this, and all his other failings (see "TurboTax Timmie" (at about 2:10 should do the trick)), he is a quitter.
God damned Tim Geithner.

FOFOA seems to find bit coins interesting but criticizes them in a number of ways. Conclusion: preference for gold over bitcoins. Digital currency is also looked at as possibly having a place in a freegold system. This is a link to part three in the bitcoin open forum at FOFOA, go read them all.

Survivalblog spots this bit on Bitcoins at Yahoo Finance which serves as a good follow up to my muddled introduction from the earlier post. The senators are obviously up to speed and on the cutting edge of where to buy drugs in bulk anonymously. If only they pushed the envelope of monetary theory as well as they do the drugs.

Bitcoins and Ripple Pay
Here's a bit of modern monetary revolution/evolution for you all. Bitcoins, an internet currency. I have seen a few stories on this in the past, but it seems like it has become a major means of exchange and it's wildly different methodology deserves a closer examination (more so than I'm going to give it here, I need to do some more reading). I am still on a Ripple Pay mailing list and have seen some similar ideas put forward. Essentially the idea is that everyone is their own bank who create their own currency and have their own trust relationships which link them into various networks for the purpose of exchanges. These exchanges give the currency its value. Bitcoins seem similiar, except the currency is not individually issued, rather it is algorithm limited and created independently of the users. Bitcoins and Ripple Pay both allow for some level of anonymity. Bitcoins is much farther along in its practical implementation, actually being used in a large number of exchanges of significant value (energy).
Ripple Pay and Bitcoins are definitely ideas any self respecting monetary revolutionist should investigate.
Here are a couple recent stories:
"The Currency That's Up 200,000%" -smartmoney.com
Silk Road -disinfo.com (the drugs angle is about as far as most media outlets go when covering bitcoins)
The first google return for "bitcoins" tells you how to use your browser to go get some, mind you though that "mining" for bitcoins should probably not be undertaken lightly.
As a matter of fact, go look at the google returns for "bitcoin." It is pretty wild to see so much interest in this, bottlenecks encourage evolution I guess.
The Bitcoin Wiki is full of all sorts of interesting info.
