Honesty I don't give a crap whether BitCoins survive or not. I just wanted to get a conversation going seeing as how this board loves the subject and people are so opinionated about it.
A few weeks ago I installed a miner in my MacBook Air thinking I will mine some coins myself. Bad idea. The miner almost made my little laptop catch on fire. I have never heard the fans spin so fast. I had no idea of the kind of computing rig one would need for this to work. After doing more research I decided that this whole thing wasn't for me and that I am a few years late to the game to try to make a quick gain and get out.

I apologize if it seemed like I was ripping on you for posting this. I'm glad you posted it, and if you had not have done it, I was planning on it. So thanks.
It's worthy of discussion, but in the end I just think it's much ado about nothing, much like last weeks blockchain fork.
