Yes, that I can live with. If the tech were implemented within a more sane economic system I would be very intrigued indeed, but I think it would bore the open-source world. I'm slowly beginning to believe that this is part of a movement where open-source is becoming like.... well like the software equivalent of Videodrome snuff films or something. Closed source & corporate is just too "traditional", even though it's likely a more solid A-to-B solution could be created with expert help. Especially since Bitcoin has tech allure (layman can't use it) without being prohibitively difficult (you don't actually have to know how to code), it's the perfect balance of intrigue versus commitment with a bit of an ego boost on the way.
