It's a smart way to diversify your portfolio, at least it was before they went up to $40 today. I bought $40 worth at $4 based purely on my gut feeling that Snowden is going to drop a bomb on bitcoin.

Could you elaborate on the Snowden bit? Do you think Bitcoin is being monitored (or was designed) by the NSA?

I have no evidence other than the fact that bitcoin has yet to be mentioned. There was a recent story regarding the american government tracking money transfers though.

One thing that litecoin definitely solves is the mysterious creator problem, which in a market so heavily driven by psychology is more important than bitcoiner's admit.
