Dan Kaminsky, a leading internet-security expert, posted his thoughts on Bitcoin. In a recent Wired article, Dan stated “Bitcoin’s no more disruptive to the dollar than the euro — but it’s still a big deal.” Dan also talked about Bitcoin security, price volatility, future of Bitcoin, comparison with gold and some other perspective .

Highlights of Dan Kaminsky thoughts :

As a security professional, I am deeply aware of why Paypal blocks accounts, why credit cards limit who we can pay, why Jamba Juice doesn’t want to be on the hook for the validity of $100 bills and the loss of $95 in “change”: If these businesses aren’t paranoid and customer-hostile, they lose hundreds of millions of dollars. It’s that simple.
