Read this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=169410.0 (to which i can't reply):

Being a huge fan of open source, non-government bitcoin-like intiatives, this whole 'bubble' stuff worries me a lot. People are getting rich quick (at least they think they are), and the whole community applaudes if evil bankers get into bitcoin causing a big rise in the so-called 'price' for a single bitcoin. Everybody speculates as if there's no yesterday and even projects that have scam written all over it (sorry BFL) are praised in a Stockholm syndrom like manner. And in the end its all about money, fiat money to be precise. We seem to love the most that what we fight against...

Isn't it time we all wake up and take a step back in time to the point where someone traded a pizza for a shitload of coins? Wouldn't it be so much better if noone cared what a bitcoin is worth in fiat currency? F*ck exchanges f*ck this bubble. Make bitcoin what it was; a currency. Someone traded a pizza for it without fiat being mentioned. If enough people adopt the philosophy -and NOT the hyip properties- of bitcoin they would just like me accept bitcoins for a trade, for repairing the car or for helping someone carry the groceries. That would be a start of a currency. This is (a start of) something else.

Just my 2 mBTC
