[p2p-research] ecurrency systems take flight

[Michel Bauwens]

I think the problem is that many of the distinctions you make are already
beyond many of our readers' and my own, understanding, so why not start with
such a classification, helping us understand the different roles and
importance of the various categories?

It would be for the p2p blog .. so I propose an article: 'understanding
e-currencies and their effect on the mainstream financial system'
