re: Installed my first bitcoin miner...

find me an economist, an actual economist, not some loon on a message board, that believes bitcoin or any other digital currency will ever unseat or even become a threat to the USD and i'll stop. And I do state when I'm making an opinion - like when i say i think bitcoin and other digital currencies' future value will be as a medium of exchange between two other currencies. On the other hand, you regularly make absurd claims like the US government couldn't do anything to stop bitcoin, and state them as fact, so who is the real douche here?
