Thank You! I'll start trying to read him too.

Billyjoeallen,

It was eye opening to see the things going on from the ground floor and I agree...this ain't over. Money as it is; isn't working. The bailouts, too big to fail? That was some messed up shtuff and if you think people get panicky here? You should have seen Zillow and Patrick.net 2007-8. Doomers and Cheerleaders.

There is a certain freedom in having nothing to lose, now if I can only get it UP to "nothing to lose" ;-). I consider this loss as tuition for the "lessons".
 When it comes to bitcoin the tech and the currency it would be nice to see it move forward...freely and for people to prosper.

Having lived amongst many newly wealthy (silicon valley) it becomes apparent that the general public, is not always money savvy.
Smart people, putting decades of accumulated stock options on the margin. One of them lost the stock to the margin call AND then owed taxes on the "gain".


So many things will change as bitcoin changes, so this is a learning time for everyone. Economist who are dismissing this now, are doing a disservice to their field.
