Pretty awesome watching the technological innovation around Bitcoin. I personally don't have any, but just from following the progress and learning, I am starting to dabble with technologies (FPGAs, for example) in my research that I completely did not anticipate getting familiar with. Great hardware opportunities today for those traditionally limited to software (like me!).
- dclusin 13y agoThis sort of thing has actually been pioneered by high frequency traders. Utilizing FPGA's & ASIC's is pretty standard fare for high frequency trading and algorithmic trading. What's novel about bitcoin is that it has been driven largely by end consumers. Thus, it is easier to see the technical landscape around it evolve.
- fixxer 13y agoexactly my point... all this technology just got a lot closer to mainstream.
