There has been an argument made that we have had plenty of distractions to keep us from paying attention to the economy. From the situation in Europe to the missing plane in East Asia, there are a lot of people that are looking at the crisis of the week knowing full well than when all of the dust clears, when the wreckage is found and put back together we will have to deal with an economy that is devolving and what it may become in the near future.
Arguably, there seems to be a positive outcome of the shaky economy and that is the birth of cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin at the moment has captured the imagination of banks and investors. Bitcoin has the worlds largest virtual currency market capitalization at over $8 billion dollars. Apart from bitcoin, there are at least 100 other cryptocurrencies, ranging from Ripple at ($1.4 billion) and Litecoin ($453 million) also at the high end there is Germanys Deutsche eMark ($106,000) and Grumpycoin ($88,000) at the low end. Even criminals have begun to diversify into homemade cryptocurrencies.
There is also a cryptocurrency called Mazacoin that was created by Payu Harris in hopes that the Lakota can use it in order to have greater independence.
The question is: does the boom in cryptocurrency indicate that people want to become independent of the almighty dollar?
There are many people that agree that while we are seeing successes and failures with cryptocurrency that the dollar will eventually go the way of digital.
InformationWeek reports: According to former Central Intelligence Agency CTO Gus Hunt, in the future, the dollar could well become a crypto currency. Governments going to learn from Bitcoin, and all the official government currencies are going to become crypto currencies themselves, he said during a recent panel discussion in San Francisco hosted by information security firm eSentire, for which he sits on the board of advisers.
Others are saying that bitcoin will do for digital currency what Napster did for downloading music.
It is creating the format for which all digital dollars will be distributed.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) May 02, 2014
Recently, the Coin Pursuit cryptocurrency information website has established a reputation within the industry as a no-nonsense resource for digital currency traders and enthusiasts. Their development team has been working on a unique interactive element for their website, designed to complement the original content and resource links Coin Pursuit already provides. Now that beta testing and tweaking have been completed, the company is announcing the official launch of this new service being offered to their readers. They have named it SliceFeeds.
SliceFeeds has a social media network feel to it, with similar personal connectivity features. Whereas many digital currency forums often have long threads where specific and unbiased information is difficult to find, SliceFeeds is being offered up as a cleaner and more efficient alternative. Additionally, it is positioned as a network strictly for cryptocurrency traders and merchants, eliminating the need for users to sort through unrelated or irrelevant information, as they would on the more generalized social media outlets. It offers a tight and focused community setting, where investors, enthusiasts and businesses can learn and educate one another, as well as promote their products and services.
Some of the major features of the network are as follows:
Network Rankings: SliceFeeds' main page features tables that show, by category, the popularity of digital currency types, wallets and exchanges, and these are updated in real time as members make changes to their personal preferences. User rankingswhich are generated by several factors, such as their number of followers, overall activity and so forthare shown here, as well. Users who earn higher rankings will enjoy higher visibility on this page, which can help generate more interest in their input.
SliceFeeds also has a unique rumor-ranking feature; if a member hears a rumor, they can submit it to their fellow members, who can then vote on its validity. Rumors that have been verified by the network's membership, based on a percentage of members, will appear in their own ranking table here; debunked rumors will not make the listings at all. Other tips, conversations, links and videos from all members show in this public feed for users to interact and find other members to follow.
Profile Creation: Once a user joins the networksigning up is freethey can adjust several settings on their profile page, effectively creating their own personal network-within-the-network. Privacy settings will allow them to select who sees what they post, from the general public down to just the people who subscribe to their feeds. These settings can be set individually for each category of posts (or Slices, in the network lingo) a user makes, including notes, tips, rumors, conversations, links and videos. From their profile page, they can create slices (similar to a tweet in Twitter) and watch the Slices of the people they follow, arrange their favorite currencies, exchanges and wallets, track their Slice feeds, and see a listing of the people they follow and who follow them.
Monetization: The SliceFeeds network presents a unique opportunity for the monetization of information, goods and services. Since its membership consists of those interested in alternative currencies, it also offers a concentrated and motivated base of customers for sellers who accept them as payment. Merchants can advertise their companies and wares, and bloggers and trading consultants can charge for subscriptions to their more exclusive content.
Privacy and Security: These are very important concepts in the cryptocurrency community. SliceFeeds' only requirements for membership are a user name and valid email address; no other personal information is required to set up an account. Additionally, no coins are stored on Coin Pursuit or SliceFeeds servers; all transactions are made directly between members. Users who offer subscriptions will need to use their public keys in order to do so, but they are not required for general membership. Absolutely no member information will be shared with any outside parties.
Members will also be able to take advantage of the private messaging system on SliceFeeds. They simply select another member's profile, and click on the Message User button provided on that member's profile page.

5/1/14 - Larry Summers warns critics, Paym system & Bitcoin Center NYC roundtable - Video
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bitcoin has spent the entire month of April trading in a no mans land. After opening at $455 on April 1, BTC/USD first fell to a low of $342 only to later rally to a monthly high of $544.90.
Prices were unable to keep the upward momentum however and BTC quickly dropped below the important $500 mark. One bitcoin is currently going for $435.50 on BTC-E and $442 on BitStamp. This is less than 5% from the monthly open of $455.
It's been a tough few months for the fledging cryptocurrency. The move up that began below the $200 mark all the way up to $1090 was largely underpinned by increased market adoption in China. After the communist establishment became increasingly hostile to bitcoin, the legs of the rally were cut off. The first ''ban'' was against using btc as a form of payment for goods and services. Next on the chopping block was access to the Chinese banking system. Add in some transaction malleability, the bankruptcyof the once dominant bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox, and it's not a surprise that we're currently trading over 50% below the $1,090 peak.

Workington Comets head into a huge double-header this weekend full of confidence after back-to-back wins, according to owner Laura Morgan.
Laura Morgan
After an indifferent start to the season, Comets comprehensively won their last two matches and are looking to continue their good form this weekend.
They face the reigning Premier League champions Somerset Rebels at Derwent Park tomorrow in the Premier League Knockout Cup, a competition the Rebels also won last year.
The Comets will be hoping for a decent points tally to take to Somerset for the second leg next Friday.
On Sunday Workington travel to the north east to take on Newcastle Diamonds in the Premier League.
Comets romped to victory in their opening Premier League fixture on Saturday with a 52-40 home win over Peterborough and have already enjoyed success against Newcastle earlier this season when they triumphed in the Ian Thomas Shield.
Morgan said: We are feeling much better than we have done of late. I did think the Peterborough match was going to be tough, but on the contrary. There was some excellent racing. The adrenaline was pumping round the stadium.
We hope thats a sign that things are starting to settle down and we will see what happens this weekend.

Workington Comets owner Laura Morgan says her side are determined to stamp their authority on the Premier League from an early stage this season.
Chris Schramm
Comets are one of the bookmakers favourites to clinch the Premier League and the riders are beginning to live up to expectations following two consecutive home wins.
Comets breezed through a potentially difficult opening Premier League fixture last Saturday by beating Peterborough Panthers 52-40 at Derwent Park, with all seven riders impressing.
Workington host Somerset Rebels in the Premier League Knockout Cup tonight (7pm) and then face a trip to Newcastle in the league tomorrow (6.30pm).
Morgan said: We are all determined to stamp our authority early in the season. Im expecting the riders to really get going if the Peterborough match is anything to go by.
Workington have already faced Newcastle Diamonds twice after clinching the Ian Thomas Shield 77-73 on aggregate, despite losing the away leg 46-44.
An interesting sub-plot in tonights fixture will see former Comet Charles Wright in Rebels Kevlar and ex-Somerset star Josh Grajczonek riding for Workington.
But Comets will be without two riders for tonights clash. Ricky Wells and Ashley Morris will both be riding for their parent club Wolverhampton, but the pair will return for tomorrows meeting with Newcastle.
