I posted yesterday on how Google or Apple could run their own blockchain: http://www.bitrific.com/2011/06/my-eureka-moment-could-be-go...

It'd be great to see a tech giant do crytocurrencies no matter whether it's bitcoin itself (I doubt it for the time being,) based on bitcoin or a whole new system - in all of those cases I think it would support bitcoin as it currently stands.

Wait, Lincoln was murdered by "existing bankers and the British ruling class"?

Yeah - please correct me if I'm wrong: I watched a documentary on it called: "The Money Masters: How International Bankers Gained Control of America." That was the impression I got from it.

edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIjxXEZyhzU 1:25:00 - bankers were originally opposed to the greenback, and also Lincoln's efforts to remove the debt based system that had to be introduced to fund the war when the greenback failed -- the bankers wanted a gold-backed currency. (look at 1:18:00 onwards for full background)
