And if there were actually big money involved in Bitcoin (which there isn't yet), we would be turning whole skycrapers into our custom datacenters rather than worrying about how would our units fit. The HFT guys are doing this already (start watching from 10:37 to get my point):

Many thanks LightRider for bringing this eye-opening video to bitcointalk:

thx for vid but i don't understand what exactly is this guy trying to say, what's the ultimate point he is trying to make?
i watched it and seemed incoherent like he was stringing things together and just stitching some conclusion together at the end
can anyone enlighten me

Essentially, the guy is showing how algorithms, that started from merely describing our reality (e.g. by means of numerical simulations), are now re-shaping our world. His conclusion is that we can't treat realms, which exist only in computer memory, as "less real" then the world of physical particles around us, as they both happen to strongly influence each other and they're both part of the very nature itself (as a consequence of whole human civilization, including all its artifacts, being a result of natural evolution).
