Bitcoin is a novelty for techies but I find that I will not tamper with it much. I guess the way to go is if you lived by a nice stream of water and built your own hydro electric generator to run all your bitcoin machines.
I've read several people getting raided by the police because of the power all their machines consume. Bitcoins are power hungry. People who consume a lot of energy are thought to be producing drugs perhaps.
The people who should salivate the most though are those with really illegal intentions because bitcoin makes it harder, much harder to trace and hell if you lose your key good luck. People who peddle drugs, illegal porn, weapons, and terriorism are the happy ones.
Still I think bitcoin is neat.
