Bitcoin maybe is the future of money because:

- it's inflation safe

- no corrupt bankers or politicians can manipulate it (easily)

- there are no men in the middle (edit: or only for a short time. Of course you should not save your bitcoins in a marketplace for a long time frame)

- it's cheap for all sorts of transactions

- it doesn't know borders (in democratic nations)

When the next bigger inflation of Euro or Dollar will arrive bitcoin exchange rate will skyrocket. Though that only means you should invest in it maybe it will also become money with exchange character in future.

I think there are good and bad incubators. As a founder you always should _rate everything you do on facts_. Inform you about failure/success ratio and asks former participants what they think about it. I for myself have never participated in an incubator because I want to focus on the product and customers first. But this is just my 2pence.

yes that's my opinion.

The key success of Whatsapp is IMHO that it uses your phone's address book as contact list. There is no hurdle to use it what is very important for the average user. The multi platform support from beginning is second thing. J2ME as stated in the article is negligible. I can't understand why this article is on top of HN.

In business it doesn't matter how you reach a goal. It's not about clean code, it's about getting fast, working results to a specific problem.
