As of a few days ago, I Thought Bitcoins were money from Super Mario World. I had no idea it has secretly gone from a 2009 longshot to the Currency of today. I judge a Currency on what it can buy and how flexible it is. Theres no doubt Bitcoin is here to stay. But that doesnt stop me from worrying about how we are becoming a Virtual Society, and the fact Bitcoin is Virtual and that leaves it vulnerable to attack. Not just by Hackers but the Government. Taxes, new laws and Regulation could offer more stabalization in the Bitcoin itself but could also take away its appeal. However as its becoming more and more used Regulation is not just an if but when. For now I will keep an eye on the News while I mine for Bitcoin.
