RE:-BITCOIN-Nothing more than -Pet Rock or Cabbage Patch doll,ummm, it already is a currency. Guessing you are +40. The older crowd hangs on to what they know, unable to imagine change. BTC is no different than gold in that it has value b/c people buy into the story that it is valuable. The genie is out of the bottle. Sure, fits and starts along the way but it isn't going back. If you haven't noticed, Netcoins is a regulated exchange, i.e., Government approval for trading btc, and other coins, i.e., implicit government approval of crypto coins.
