there were around $700 million worth of Bitcoins in circulation.


That's a bit of a misleading figure.

Yes, because the market cap is more like 800 million.

If nothing else, Salon thinks we're cool Smiley

There's a difference between thinking Bitcoins are cool and thinking Bitcoiners are cool  Wink

A man can dream though, can't he? A man can dream...

Yeah, I think we're cool.

Bitcoins are undeniably cool: marvelously “mined” from the ore of computer processing power and electricity; more ready for prime time than any previous experiment in purely digital money. And Bitcoins, increasingly, are a success. At a Thursday afternoon all-time-high valuation of $72 per Bitcoin, there were around $700 million worth of Bitcoins in circulation. People are using Bitcoins to buy real goods and services, to hedge against European financial calamity, and to score drugs. That’s money.
