There seems to be a lot of negative press around the rise in value of Bitcoin. The FT's article - comparing the market cap of Bitcoin to the trillions of dollars traded in fiat currencies - was shameful.<p>Bitcoin is not a country it is a movement, that has a technology product at it's core - to this end it should be celebrated, not derided as not as big as USD. Especially when the big currencies are being devalued daily, facing so much pressure that they have to use QE to stay viable!<p>China is a big factor in this and bitcoin must seem like a fun game to play for those countries with vast USD reserves and deep technology resources to match.<p>I hope that people embrace the individual and open source nature, rather than just use a shallow 'currency' comparison with established systems.
