Ironicly though if you went with investing in a mining firm. You will just subsidize their mining industry. Because the hardware needed to mine 1000$ of bitcoins over the course of a year is probably less expensive than that.

I don't trust bitcoins.

Luckilly, I already made a donation to my favorite torrent site for a massive ratio fix BEFORE Paypal blocked them, and they had to switch to Bitcoin donations.

You just made 7 posts in a row.. going for a record?

If it's so easy to make money bitcoin mining, why aren't you doing it?

I don't trust them either. Also I don't know if now is a good time to invest or not. And I'm poor as fuck. I don't have a machine I can plug in to mine bitcoins and wait 20 yrs on an investment return. It'll probably cost more in electricity to mine them.

I have a feel for where this video is going. It feels like they want to show bitcoins as breaking the chains of bondage.

My original argument still stands that it is an Illusion. It is still a fiat currency. And the "People" don't have control over it in the long run.

The simplest way to look at it is that it uses Eve game theory in a real world fiat currency.

Hell they could just create a "game" to stand in for the "mining". But its slightly easier to cheat at complex games and harder to "tweak" variables.
