Since the inception of the Internet, programmers have been trying to figure out how to create a [digital] world in which people anywhere - even complete strangers - can safely and efficiently make direct transactions with each other. In essence, they're trying to recreate the cornerstone of civilization: an orderly system of accounting that allows people to trust each other's claims about what they own, what they owe, and what they're owed. For most of the digital age, this "trust" was mediated by third parties such as banks, governments, or trusted companies willing to guarantee that a transaction was valid and secure.
