Predicted ATMs and, interestingly, popularized the phrase "butterfly effect." Very apropos. I would be surprised if he were not aware of Bitcoin.

Quote from: BBC
For years, Bradbury tried to prevent the publication of Fahrenheit 451 as an e-book. He told the New York times that electronic books "smell like burned fuel" and called the internet "a big distraction".
"It's meaningless; it's not real. It's in the air somewhere," he said.
"It's meaningless; it's not real. It's in the air somewhere," he said.
In any case, Bradbury was for me, as for Bruno, one of my all-time favorite science fiction authors.
He wrote fiction that not only engaged you but forced you to question cultural protocols, the future, and at times the foundations of society itself.
RIP.
