Exactly. The right attitude to all this.
I loved reading the original thread (80 pages. It took a few days of lying in bed with a cold reading my iPad!!!)... The 800 page one is probably too much now.
And yeah I love their (our's now seeing as we have both bought some coins) community spirit, very inspiring for me as a filmmaker. You get the same 'family' feeling on a set.
But like you say there's a lot of great stuff in there that the general public will warm to more than with Bitcoin.
eMunie is another one to look out for... Going for more of a long term currency that could really take on the world rather than all these alt coins that are looking for a quick buck.
It really is like the .com bubble... only a few will survive. But there's money to be made until that happens.
