Ok most of the later ones are the usual suspects :-) ... and not so much "hardly existed last year".

Despite MtGox not being online, bitcoin trading has never been shutdown: http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/

Trading volume has been down a bit, especially just after MtGox closed, but it has not been illiquid.

It is probably not of the greatest interest to hn users, but banks, afaik , report - but not to the public, where I live (except for creditcard leaks). Wouldn't a major leak potentially create a bank run?

As long as Denmark has a growing "Danish People's Party" (3rd largest at 13.8%) in a government supporting role, with the one-trick pony voter's appeal of immigration (thus they have to tighten and tighten it), I have 3 advices for anyone contemplating Denmark: 1) Do not move to Denmark or start a company in Denmark 2) Do not get an education in Denmark 3) Do not fall in love with a Dane (if you are a non-EU citizen)

Danish educational institutions and companies go to a great extent to convince their surroundings, that they are international & business oriented, but the matter of fact is that this is not supported by the parliament. It is as simple as that. So don't get lured by their marketing. Stay out.

Really, the highest earning "occupations" (or most prestigious) change as time goes: - in the 1800s many smart people became authors or poets. - in the 1950 many became physicists - around 2000, many became entrepreneurs (or even venture capitalists)

Purely macro-economic reasons can dictate, that sometimes it is best to be an entrepreneur (say, in times of "under-investment"), sometimes a consultant and yet again, sometimes an employee (in times of "over-investment" in a sector)
