interesting insights, thanks for the link
Greed is Bitcoins killer app. Incentivising early adoption and evangelizing by early adopters bootstraps it and provides the necessary marketing.
as an admitted speculator, i can't tell you how much criticism i took in 2011 for speculating.
Don't call yourself an admitted speculator, instead call yourself a venture capital investor (or maybe an angle for you early early adopters). It's closer to the truth, even if you are just sitting back watching, by speculating you are raising the price which trickels into the rest of the bitcoin economy. You yourself are also active in the marketing department which is critical at this phase.....
