I think one of the really great things about Bitcoin from a philosophical / ideological point of view is that due to its decentralized nature, it returns responsibility and power to the individual.

Wrong. It brings power to the mob of speculators.

 

With a turnover of about 50 000 BTC at MtGox and millions BTC being bought just because of speculative expectations - it will be a perfect disaster.

I know, some people does not want to hear the message.
OK, he who does not want to know will have to feel!

Good luck betting!
