For those of you who never saw it:

This post from *1999* on the cypherpunks mailing list pretty much described bitcoin; it was, interestingly, in response to Adam Back saying that the most essential feauture of ecash was not blinding, but non-confiscatability/bearer (reflecting that, unlike many, Back knows what "cash" actually means!).
