"What's not to like? Free, fast, scriptable transactions." "No they lied to us." "What? Those bastards." "They never ran a business before!"
"Well at least it's untraceable, right." "Yeah, except all the ways to turn them into actual money." "Eff me so we still have to launder?"
"Well at least it obscures the money trail." "By preserving it forever in a world-readable database." "The eff you say." "No really."
