But, and I mean this in a nice way, why would people consider Bitcoin to be something "serious" in terms of an actual currency? It is always on HN but it is like an interesting hobby for them, I guess. I also understand there are startups that have built "businesses" off of it, but it is sort of reminiscent of those businesses that sell the currencies from MMORPGs. I think Bitcoin is really meant for geeks to play with and argue and start massive flamewars over zero-knowledge proof engines and all this kind of stuff, rather than an actual real currency of the world. I guess there is an element of something like Goldbugs, but we were discussing being "serious," right?
