Private key.
But it is not like what I quoted is already here. That part should be obvious to anyone. Part that seems to not be obvious to anyone is
that the stage is set for it to happen at any moment, starting right now.
Apart from the fact that very few people actually use brainwallets (I'm being very liberal with my interpretation - one's brain and forehead are really two completely different body parts), you can transact with bitcoins
right now without ever seeing a private key. And you always will be able to. In fact, it is likely that in the future,
most people will never see a private key, instead trusting their bank to handle all the "technical" stuff for them (which, considering most of the general public has yet to figure out how to download porn without infecting their computers with half a dozen viruses simultaneously, is probably a good idea).
