No, it doesn't need one, though I'm sure one will pop up. all we need is the people who are using it and for this to grow, though as I said before It's only a matter of time before the investors and capitalists get their hands in (and they've already started).

I think "Bit Valley" sounds even better than "Silicon Valley", but.. the Bitcoin network will grow either way, it's like the growth of the internet or even the growth of google search, we are the early adaptors here.  I think more investors will see the potential of the network over time.

And there are many forums like these concentrating on Crypto Currency, where ideas can be brainstormed. Just type in "Cryptocurrency Business" and you will find lots.

It's happening online now, we not office bound anymore, it's world wide.
