I am glad we have the giant distraction of altcoins a'mundo. This is the one to watch... It goes back to simple protocols and a wishlist of many great features. (I hope we can code the superstructure and basic apps before everyone else figures what this "alt" coin is.)
For everyone who felt like they missed out on bitcoin's run - get ready, go!
PS. I think I'm going to relearn assembly language and get back into python/go...
