Bitcoin will spawn an emerging market for specialized parallel processors, according to a veteran high-tech investor, but one young startup engineer is skeptical. "There's a big opportunity in silicon with a new wave of chip design ideas, which is not something we would have predicted a year ago," said Marc Andreessen co-founder and principal of Andreessen Horowitz.

Marc Andreessen co-founder and principal of Andreessen Horowitz vs. Thomas Sohmers, a 17-year-old wiz kid and chief executive of a high-performance server startup?

My bet is on Andreessen.
