Comment by Ecolocitizen on December 2, 2009 at 9:23pm: A friend wrote in: "... you never cease to impress me. I was in Singapore yesterday afternoon on a "visa run" from Jakarta, reading National Geographic when ... you were there on the Russian TV Channel (English version) explaining your own Potomac currency to the World. There you were printing the banknotes. Watching it all and hearing your voice in Singapore. On a Russian TV channel. wow!"

Comment by Ecolocitizen on November 15, 2009 at 5:43pm: Here's an interesting article by Jake Towne on the Campaign for Liberty website. Since our model is based on BerkShares, we already comply with most of the recommendations he makes.

Happy to say that our Potomacs have caught the attention of mainstream media and the blogosphere.
