"It needs to be captured if you are considering it an investment."

I'm considering it a currency and a revolution.

I want to make money by building things for the new Bitcoin economy. The price of Bitcoin going up is just a pleasant side effect of rising popularity. Bitcoin going up doesn't provide new value to the world...building a new kind of money and the infrastructure to use that new money does provide value. A tremendous amount of it.

As a software developer, I've always had the ability to have the Internet give me money for very little effort (relatively speaking). What's interesting here is the power to change the world.
