1 thing is for certain, there ain't too many chicks mining the coinage!

That's kind of what I was originally thinking was a step above the younger crowd, at least now. Prior you could use a decent computer with a nice graphics card to mine, but in the last few weeks/months it's now turned into a profession pushing the "smaller guys" out.
So for example, the 16 y/o using his home PC is now squashed compared to the giant processors that the mid 20's and 30 year olds can afford to buy. My guess going forward, they will be majority owned by mid 20's to early 30's males in developed countries, only to be traded for iPhone cases an apps back to China...
Now to develop a product to over them to hoard bitcoins for myself!
