I meant more the speculation. It's difficult to take seriously a 'currency' where 1 equals ~$100, let alone 1 equalling $140 one minute and $80 ten minutes later. It's a joke.

It wasn't hard to predict that once it became, or becomes, widely enough used that The Man would attempt to control it. That's inevitable.
