That said, it seems to be a split between people who really, truely don't care, and people who go "hell yes! Fuck the fed! I need to get into this". Not an even split, but a split. Most people don't care, or worry about "how do you get the money back out".

There are also people who think it's a cool idea, but probably a scam.

I haven't told many people, so these statements of mine don't come from much of a sample set.

Yeah, I have a friend who got into it and started calling it a "two bit con" because he couldn't generate any blocks with his i7 processor. Although I had another friend who told me it sounded like we were just trying to invent money, but was in disbelief when I told him I got web hosting, donated money to the Japanese Red Cross, and bought a Chinese cartoon, all for Bitcoins. I've only been into it about two weeks. But I'm glad that I'm into it.

Yeah I'm about to order a china girl express too.
I'm making money on a Ponzi scheme (see sig).
Pretty awesome.

Actually, it took a while with no downlines, but, I did make half again my investment back.
Though the one guy I know who does run a small buisiness selling stuff online, and a couple who are thinking about it, are all interested in accepting bitcoins.

So once they have a few, i bet I can convince em to invest lol

Though, is it really a ponzi scheme if it doesn't try to convince people that there is some sort of real economic activity going on to support it? The randomizer is pretty unapologetic about what it does.
