I have such a tiny holding of BTC that I don't have much of a monetary interest in seeing it explode like it has (I bought 1.5 BTC when it was trading at $200, and 1 more when it was trading at $516), but I do have an interest in seeing the old banking and finance model fail (I might like to see some of the banksters rotting in jail, also, but I'm unlikely to get that dream fulfilled). So, I want BTC to succeed because the world would be a much better place without the old monetary middlemen. Without credit cards taking exorbitant fees from both vendors and consumers. Without banks charging fees to hold your money. Without banks socializing losses and privatizing profits. All of those things become a possibility (not a certainty, but a possibility) with an alternative worldwide currency like Bitcoin.
