Thank you! It is a very interesting article. Lots of good information here
Of course! An open mind is one of the best assets when it comes to Cryptocurrencies and there's a great number of very helpful people and resources around here. Bitcoin grows every day through shared knowledge!
As to one of your other questions about exchanges, I would direct you to
https://btct.co/faq one particular example of a Virtual Currency Stock Exchange. Here you can put some of your
BTC holdings and buy shares of stocks/bonds/funds that are typically
BTC-based. There are other sites that do similar, but it's very cool.
The more people who know about bitcoin is certainly a good thing because it will make it easier to spread knowledge about bitcoin. The fact that one can become rich by simply buyingband holding, trading or even participating in signature campaigns is mind blowing.
