That sounds like the reasoning of the gun-lobby. When bad things happen to do with guns, they tell us we need more guns.

All of these people were in this thing for purely speculative reasons, so please forgive me my lack of empathy :)

Yeah, the technology fascinates me as well, it's very cool. It's said that the real-world economics of it make no sense at all. The technology will survive though, the ideas will make their way into other pieces of software.

After this, you still say "Bitcoin may be the next gold standard"?

Hilarious. Can't wait to hear from the choir of libertarian crypto-currency-zealots, who will sing the praises of the Ponzi scheme that is Bitcoin. On a serious note: who benefits?

I don't think it's ad-hominem, but alas. I don't feel the need to provide the list of arguments that I'm sure critics of Bitcoin have provided on this forum lots of times and I am confident you are already familiar with.

Poor you, it is obvious that one needs a real keyboard to code, any touchscreen just won't let you type quick enough. The iPad is no good for any kind of authoring. I own one, love it but can hardly make myself even type a 3 sentence email

Just skip Node and go for vert.x, right away.

Agree with Ryan. And besides, what good can possibly come from say 48 hours of caffeine-fueled chasing of shiny dangling objects. That's not how you make software
