I guess I'm not the only one who became interested in bitcoins even though I never really had any interest in the stock market, gambling or anything else like that.
So for someone coming from the stock market, for example, how does speculating in bitcoins differ from say stocks? Day trading? The future of bitcoins? I'm just curious how this whole thing looks from their perspective.
I can imagine they see some familiar patters in both the behavior of new speculators and the value of the trading instrument it self. Just like an older programmer can se behavioral patters in new programmers in terms of how they think of code, why they go with a certain new cool framework, etc. Maybe it's just a strange comparison, I don't know.
