[Lab] Thoughts on Bitcoins, and the like?

[Jamie]

It's been a great practical point of discussion with my family about
subjective value, currencies, technology, etc. Got my son all the pieces to
GPU mine as a Grade 8 graduation present. He made 20 coins with it that he
spent for a Jalepeno miner that has since made him 6 or 7 coins. He's ok
with that, I kind of wish I'd just bought him the PC's worth of BTC as the
present which would be worth MUCH more now ;)

I'm also done recording an interview and other media that should have a
Bitcoin themed podcast out by the end of the weekend (I hope). Check
steppinofftheedge.com for it soon.
