Ok, finally an argument that combines Bitcoins and the Singularity.

Strangely, Brent, I think I agree with you. Faster change means faster
paradigm shift, which leads to more and more opportunities in less and less
time. I just saw the Winklewonder twins' interview on one of the money news
shows. The guy running the show was f'ing clueless. Amazing. So there is
opportunity out there for us geeks at this time.
