anyone considering investing into bitcoin should consider this: current bitcoin price is bubble economy, completely related to bitcoin's news exposure.
real value (GPU power + electricity bill) is somewhere around $0.75 per BTC. this value will be always based on the current difficulty (essentialy the more people are generating coins, the more valuable it is).
so the only viable way to make money is to get few ati's and generate bitcoins away.
then sell it ot mtgox to speculating fools for quadruple its price.
generating is far from geeks niche anymore, you just need to invest few grand into the hardware.
as far as the security of the system goes for payments, its pretty tight and well thought out. in regards to speculation, mtgox is currently under massive DDOS, either by slashdot effect or more likely someone probably wanting to delay the bubble until he generates more coins.
secure P2P based bitcoin currency exchange is needed for speculation to be safe.
