Yes, this is a scam of blah blah blah. It's like saying Hollywood alone would bring back the U.S. economy @ the very least. It wouldn't b/c it's California, the never of Rome. If you can prove you can buying stuff w/ this Bitcoin, okay. Regardless, it's just going to be another currency issued by whom? I dunno + I don't care. All it is to me is another credit card w/ a different digit # (3 is the limit so 10 == 34 == 3331) or IOUs. How would people make a living off of this? I don't see myself earning Bitcoins, spending Bitcoins, + living off of Bitcoins. It's a unfortunate fact that just living a life would rely on politics, policies, submission, determination, and even war. It's like the feudal times, so much for modernization. I guess we reached the civilized limit after all.
