&gt; That is a strange argument.<p>If Bitcoin was closed source, I&#x27;d agree with you.<p>But it&#x27;s not, and I don&#x27;t.  Bitcoin is 100% transparent and reviewable: the code, the transactions.  The same cannot be said for any national or bank electronic monetary system.<p>As a technical person, I&#x27;d trust an open source system more than closed source system any day of the week.
