Bitcoin

A few years ago Napster was the biggest thing in peer to peer file sharing.

Then it was brought down; and this was possible because it used central servers.

Similarly Bitcoin has just been brought to heel by an attack on its central servers by the US feds, who are shit-scared of a monetary system outside the control of a central government that they can bomb the fuck out of, if necessary.

The next step, as night follows day, is the development of non-government, electronically trade-able money system that uses a distributed peer to peer system with no central servers.

The US has just set the Aspergers kids a nice challenge.
