It's interesting that many outside of tech circles seem to be fascinated with Bitcoin. I have no opinion on alternative currency, but I have an issues with Bitcoin as an approach to alternative currency: it's a power hog. To use the politically correct terminology, it's not "green". Not even close. While it has its appeal to nerds because it uses the computer, it is an ecologically unsound idea when you consider "scaling up". How much energy does it take to produce paper currency? How much to generate "bitcoins"?
Given the world's energy situation, it's neither a smart nor a feasible "implementation" of alternative currency.
Something tells me you wouldn't touch it anyway, for other reasons. I also get the feeling she's not going to miss your (lack of) contribution.
I take irreverence seriously, if it's partnered with competence. Your comment expresses the exact opposite attitude of irreverance, whatever that is called. This is not an attitude that inspires any sense of breaking new ground.
