Good idea, but at the moment it's mostly gibberish for the common people. If the goal is to convince the Average Joe, there should be more simple facts without technical terms. Sadly this might be quite difficult to achieve.

I'm hoping they might follow the citation links. But yeah, it's a tad technical. The idea is to answer questions like, "It's only worth anything because people think it's worth anything, but there's nothing actually backing it." This list is why Bitcoin itself would be worth something, and be a huge contribution to the world, even if it had no value as money.

Good site,

Good idea, but at the moment it's mostly gibberish for the common people. If the goal is to convince the Average Joe, there should be more simple facts without technical terms. Sadly this might be quite difficult to achieve.
Convincing the non-average Joe is important too (e.g. educated people that just don't know anything about bitcoin).

Excellent...

Another one:
1) You can transact on the internet without exposing any sensitive information whatsoever.


BTW, I like that you have colored-coins in there. One of my takeaways from the conference is that a lot of people really are viewing bitcoin as a new and fundamental protocol layer on top of which other protocols and services will be built. Colored coins and multisig underpin a lot of that potential.

Whipped this thing up during the Bitcoin Conference 2013, somewhere between the party at The Loft and just now:

1. Because it has been proven to work in facilitating the transfer of products
2. Because it has worked for 4.5 years, so it is building up a history of having worked reliably
3. Because it is working right now, so there is a legitimate expectation that it will continue to work
