Bitcoin: the next "internet?"

podcast interview: More than a currency, bitcoin is an enabling technology - O'Reilly Radar:

"The promise of bitcoin and blockchain extends well beyond its potential disruption as a currency. In this Radar Podcast episode, Balaji Srinivasan, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, explains how bitcoin is an enabling technology and why it’s like the Internet, in that “bitcoin will do for value transfer what the Internet did for communication — make it programmable.”

(Andreessen is a co-counter of Netscape, instrumental for internet "revolution"; well informed...)
