An interesting summary of the short history to date of Bitcoin...
Right now they are about $2.45.

I lost my 10 bitcoins at MyBitcoin, which I am pretty sure was a scam. They promised to send you 40% of what you had back, and I accidentally entered by old key rather than a new one, so they sent 4 BTC into the ether.
IMO the biggest problem with Bitcoin for an individual is storage. If there were easier ways to keep you wallet safe, and to access it safely, then it might have more legs. I think I might buy 10 more BTC. Just to get them back. But I don't expect much to come of them.
I do predict that the next BitCoin will have more legs.

I was kind of amazed how far they shot up due to speculation. Some people could have cashed out and become millionaires. And then I think of the speculation that goes on in the real world commodities markets. With a majority of the people on the globe being poor and middle class at best, essentials like food and fuel have their prices driven up further. There has got to be some sort of solution or mitigation for that...
