Bitcoin is widespread enough that it could be worth serious money in the future. Will I use it? Unlikely. Will I ignore it? ...

I made a tiny $10 'investment' back at parity with the USD. Lost a $5 best to a friend and agreed to pay him 4 BTC instead. Today I was able to tell him that it had appreciated to $115. He is pleased.

I'd love to own some, but the price is a little too volatile right now and it's very difficult to exchange USD and BTC due to lack of proper PayPal/debit card support at most exchanges.

I just posted on a MtGox/Mastercard deal in the works:

MagicalTux: "we are finishing the contract part, and working on the card design. Next we'll need approval from mastercard to issue mastercards with a huge bitcoin logo"

I mined 100 bitcoins last year after reading a HN article. Now the mining difficulty requires a dedicated mining rig, but I would rather simply purchase more and day-trade at Mt Gox.

Like the idea, but not willing to buy any until it has proven more robust and usable

hype is made by those who hold existing bitcoins. It increases the value of a bitcoin, meaning that those who hype it seek to benefit the most. It is therefore a a type of con and does not give me any trust in the project.
