Thought of the week from Matt Odell:
I flew to SF this week to help the Human Rights Foundation run a bitcoin 101 workshop for their Freedom Fellows - a group of extremely impressive human rights advocates from around the world. I was truly humbled.  One thing that was immediately apparent to me - and them - is that using bitcoin privately is still way too difficult and nuanced. We must do better.
