I don't participate in BTC because I find the whole thing hilarious.

Between it's inability to work as a payment method at scale (transactions per minute), exchanges running off with client bitcoins, exchanges getting broken into constantly and the shady way it's handled when that happens and on and on.

I'm not saying the idea is fundamentally useless (clearly) but the implementation is terrible.

I might be wrong and in 20 years I'll be getting paid in BTC but I'd bet that isn't the case.
