It's the internet vs. intranets all over again. People have too much stock invested in "bitcoin is fundamentally flawed" and before that it was "bitcoin is a scam". Now it's "a different bitcoin is the answer".

EDIT: Time and again getting downvotes because of HN's cognitive dissonance. Pathetic low-tier reddit run-off is entering HN's market share.

I really hope for some success from Interledger[1] and the Web Payments Community Group at W3C[2] to start bridging the gap and letting people exchange money (directly) with whatever currencies they want.
