Speaker: Skunkworks In the post 9/11 era when it's nearly impossible to buy a pack of gum without alerting the big three credit bureaus, you may think that anonymity is long gone from the economy. That's where bitcoin comes in. Bitcoin is a decentralized peer-to-peer currency based solely on computing power. It is (mostly) untraceable and highly anonymous, not backed by any banks or companies, and in the words of Jason Calacanis "the most dangerous project we've ever seen".
