When my colleague Malcolm van Delst published a blog post called "What the Frack is Bitcoin and Can I Use it with Drupal?", my first thought was, "Oh cool, I like Battlestar Galactica too!" Then my second thought was, "Oh cool, a peer-to-peer digital currency!" I've always wondered how hard it would be to build an online digital currency system that could be a practical substitute for regular money. People complain about big banks a lot, and maybe we can come up with a better alternative.
