the arguments for basic income aren't directly related.
This reply is ambiguous. Are your referring to Falkvinge's or Milton's arguments?
Anyway, I find replies of the kind "someone else has already made this point better, duh" pointless and annoying. If they'd include a pointer to the earlier discussion, that'd be useful. But otherwise it's just saying "I'm better than you because I happened to hear about this subject earlier than you did, hah!".
There seems to be quite a bit of a Bitcoin interest around here, with several articles about it already: [1 2 3 4 5 6 7]
I propose that links and generic Bitcoin comments should be posted here, instead of making a new discussion thread for each interesting article about the subject.
