On a more serious note, I think that bitcoin is a bit too expensive right now. It seems to have been pushed up from demand from China [0] some time ago, but I seems that the Chinese government tried to stop it [1]. I don't know where demand right now is from, though.

I'd be remiss if I didn't say also that it's amazing that bitcoin is something that is much less associated with criminals and the dark economy as it was in the past and is now being popularly used for some really noble things. Same for blockchain.
