Patrick,
nice effort, and I wish you and your team all the best. I am writing a book on Bitcoin and I'd like to have a chance to discuss your initiative in person. My email is easy to find.

The more I read about Myrvhold, the more I don't like him. Seems like a billionaire who needs to find a way to define himself.

He learned it while studying in Florence I guess.

I couldn't agree more with you. AirBNB, Uber are my top two names. There are others.
