I mean start a business providing infrastructure services, a far more sophisticated services than what we already have. For example, Clearcoin.com is one of the most important services I think the bitcoin economy needs. However, it's still a one-man start-up, running on some app. engine, and down from now and then Hi, dude, it's business about money, wealth of the people, don't you think you're not serious enough? why not just raise some venture capital, and hire more people and persuade more smart programmers, product managers, marketing experts into the great adventure.

I agree with this sentiment completely. bitcoin needs more entrepreneurs. I also think there are several great one-man start-ups out there like ClearCoin still to be launched. To start a larger venture, the traditional VC approach is a bit top-down. bitcoin is more amenable to p2p micro-finance solutions of the prosper/zopa/kiva variety. Lot's could be done through that type of channel to scale up the economy right now.
