@Alduin @sickburnbro As a means of exchange, it is quite functional. I always thought bitcoin was silly. I could have made money if I didn't think that.

But, I still think it's silly - as a store of wealth - even though many holding it have a lot of wealth as a result. Tulips did something like this - though, they were actual physical goods with some inherent value.

Bitcoiin reminds me of the classical "dollar-auction" - but one that just keeps on bidding-up. At least, until the power goes off.
