"I think Bitcoin and cryptocurrency stands to challenge and has the potential to topple the very notion of unlawful trade, just like the printing press challenged and toppled the notion of unlawful speech."

He's writing the most thoughtful stuff on Bitcoin that I've seen right now. Definitely worth following.

Rick Falkvinge is the founder of the first Pirate Party and recently decided to invest all of his money into Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin Sun had an interview with him. You can read the first part here:
http://thebitcoinsun.com/post/2011/06/16/Interview-with-Rick-Falkvinge%2C-founder-of-the-first-Pirate-Party-%28part-1%29

The second part is currently availble in the paying edition ( http://thebitcoinsun.com/post/edition_005 ) but should be available for free in something like a week or so.

Since that interview, Rick published a lot of interesting articles about bitcoin. They really worth a read:
