This is actually at the heart of BitCoin...
There is a hardcore, techy, anarcho Cult...
Mostly micro-capitalized Cyberspace Outsiders...
With close to zero mainstream business experience.
A group of, say, 5000 True Believers...
Is a VERY powerful thing...
This is what's 99% driving BitCoin price...
These people are the source of all the Publicity...
And it's a VERY ****ing Good Story...
Even if Economists can blow massive holes in it...
Nobody cares... they just repeat mantras 1000x.
The scary thing is...
If a Pure Cult Driven Bubble can rocket 10 fold...
In the absence of meaningful commercial activity...
What will happen if a killer BitCoin app comes along.
At least now we have a trading range for BTC...
And we've seen a solid market cap of $50,000,000...
Enough to attract some Forex Sharks...
I'm actually more likely to load up at $5.00 than $0.50.
