Most people here seem to be completely oblivious to the movement behind Bitcoin and what it means for the world as the antiquated financial systems are replaced with people in control of their own money. The fact that everyone is so fixated on price shows the lack of imagination and forward thinking about what is coming. You call it gambling, we call it being ahead of the curve when the rest of the world only wakes up. I've come to believe the HN crowd for the most part cannot comprehend what is about to happen to our financial, political and technological world. Entire industries are being revamped while the hackerpeneur is blinded by Bitcoin fog. You are correct, there is no point in telling a banker he is about to be unemployed.
