This is my general impression as well. It seems like a general case with a big innovation that the particular content of the innovation is not that important (i.e. in this case bit coin), but that the universal property (i.e. in this case digital currencies supported on a system of open, transparent trust) nonetheless presents us with an immanent emergence. Would be nice. Of course it is ironic to consider our current "agents of trust" as such. I think the existence of money itself is an explicit sign of mistrust.Absolutely. Not necessarily bitcoin specifically, but something like it.
