CA Senator: “Banks won’t allow BTC to make them obsolete.”
@aantonop: “That’s what people said about telecoms & the Internet. They adapted.”
@cryptotraveler My favorite part was when @aantonop told the committee that centralized systems are regulated by corruptible committees. ;-)

.@aantonop “Whether you agree with Bitcoin’s monetary policy or not, it is well defined and predictable. If you disagree, create your own.”
Q: How do we know terrorists aren’t using Bitcoin?
@aantonop: Empowerment of economic inclusion outweighs illicit use by tiny minority.
67-year-old Canadian Senator: “We’re on our 11th meeting about Bitcoin and I still don’t understand it.” Observes generation gap w/new tech.
