   This is the kind of thing I wish I thought of right when I saw it. These naysayers are silly. The amount of investment you put into it will undoubtedly be offset by the passive income you generate with it, not to mention the fun/learni

   I used to live in the Philippines with no AC and even then, except for the hottest nights, we slept with light sheets/blankets on. Sometimes with the fan blowing under the blanket on hot nights.

    Everyone wont completely abandon it and not care anymore. That is basically beyond the realm of reality. I bet the majority of the people reading this would jump on buying thousands of bitcoin at that price, thus raising the price. It is ve

    Or what? They get caught (highly unlikely) and if so, fired (very wealthy now, and quite employable)? Hard to see a downside to breaking that "strict" rule.
