I'm just curious to get as much information as I can, because I can't do anything else right now and I would like to hear your thoughts on it. I gather big money will get into it from traditional investors, but that will make it more centralized. What other positives and negatives are there?

As a side note, thank you everyone who helped to create Ethereum. This last Sunday I fell off of a very high roof and shattered my leg, and the profits from my mining really helped out with the bill. Not enough to pay it off (Thanks, US healthcare prices) but enough so that I'm not wildly in debt. I seriously owe that to this community and the devs. Cheers!
