I just watched an interview on usawatchdog with Lynette Zang. And she mentioned something that I "have been waiting to hear" about crypto currencies.

You know I am sceptical about this. That I believe it's a way to get everyone into digital money.

Listen to what she says at 10:50.
She came across the 1996 NSA whitepaper on crypto currencies; and a year later, there was a peer review on smart contracts.

Looking back even further, The Economist had an article which is mentioned on armstrongeconomics webpage, among other places.

And here is a link to the whitepaper I believe. I haven't read it yet but it looks genuine at first glance.

Disclaimer, yes I am biased against any complete move away from cash, even if it is fiat money
