+<p>With this weeks lawless
+<a href="http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/12/06/wikileaks/index.html">govermental
+attacks</a> on Wikileak, it has become obvious that paypal, visa and
+mastercard can not be trusted to handle money transactions.
+<a href="http://webmink.com/2010/12/06/now-accepting-bitcoin/">A blog
+post from Simon Phipps on bitcoin</a> reminded me about the project
+that a friend of mine mentioned earlier.  I decided to follow Simons
+example, and get involved with
+<a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">bitcoins</a>.  I got some help from
+my friend to get it all running, and he even handed me some bitcoins
+to get started.  I even donated a few bitcoins to Simon for helping me
+to remember bitcoins.</p>
+
+<p>So, what is bitcoins, you probably wonder.  It is a digital
+crypto-currency, decentraliced and handled using peer-to-peer
+networks.  It allow anonymous transactions and prohibit central
+control over the transactions, making it impossible for governments and
+compaines alike to block donations and other transactions.</p>
+
+<p>Bitcoins can be converted to other currencies, like USD and EUR.
+There are companies accepting bitcoins when selling services and
+goods, and there is even currency "stock" markets where the exchange
+rate is decided.  There are not many users so far, but the concept
+seem promising.  If you want to get started and lack a friend without
+any bitcoins to spare, you can even get
+<a href="https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/">some for free</a> (0.05
+bitcoin at the time of writing).</p>
+
+<p>As an example, I've set up bitcoin and will be accepting donations
+to the address <b>15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</b>.  If you want
+to support me, send me some bitcoins. :)</p>
