Mr. Thompson is quoted as saying “We believe that by 2015 digital currency will be accepted everywhere in the U.S. – from your local corner store to Walmart. We will no longer need to carry a wallet.”
In a word, "Yeah, right."
(Okay, okay, that's two words -- my fabled math skills deserted me for a second, it seems -- but you get my freakin' point.)
Let's face it, a man in Mr. Thompson's position is more than just a tad biased on this subject. Add to that a smidgen of wishful thinking, I suppose...
I'm just trying to think of how his electronic-only money system would work at a flea market, a neighborhood yard sale, or when you want to hit your friend Bill up for a twenty-dollar loan until Friday.
Maybe someday, but within four years? As I said above, "Yeah, right."
Oh, by the way: This is Scott Thompson...

...not to be confused with this other Scott Thompson, who does a terrific impression of Queen Elizabeth II.
Just sayin'.
Thanks for your time.
