Bitcoin has come a long way... 7 years ago I was writing perl scripts to cobble together a depth-of-market program that operated on the mtgox API. I would get excited scalping coins from $17-19 USD back then. No SEC/CFTC, no regulation, no anything, just good old fashioned auction market theory - combined with a sucker being born every moment and winding up on the other end of a mtgox trade. The sky was the limit, it was an exciting time if you were an oddball breed of programmer crossed with day trader.
Fast forward.... WTF is going on now? Regulated exchanges for bitcoin, dozens of btc clones, new exchanges being birthed/destroyed each month, and the dinosaurs of finance adopting it 10 years too late. It's a crazy mixed up world.
