You're darn right! Digital currency's been given a bad rap 'cause of all those failed attempts in the past. But it wasn't the idea of e-currency that fell flat. It was how they were run - centrally controlled and ripe for misuse.

That's where Bitcoin breaks from tradition. No central control, no single point of failure, no one to muck things up! Just good ol' decentralized power backed by rock solid code and a network of passionate folks all over the world.

So yeah, don't judge a book by its cover or an e-currency by its predecessors... Bitcoin's playing an entirely different ball game here!
