People think Bitcoin is just a better way to do PayPal, and it’s not. Just like the internet, it’s a platform, and on that platform you can now build an incredible variety of things.
Andreas Antonopoulos quoted in an article by Matthew Sparkes at The Telegraph. The coming digital anarchy

Excellent, but long article.
