Some of us can't buy new videocards like candy bars, so I'm using what I have. I'm not interested in "making money", I'm interested in making bitcoins. I believe it is a more honest money that the fraud perpetrated on us by fiat currencies. Even slowly accumulating them now is better than not accumulating them at all, because any fraction of a fixed amount is better than a dwindling fraction of a hyperinflated amount of dollars.
While I share your sentiment, you should be aware that the only solution is to vote in better representatives who will handle money properly.
They have a monopoly of violence and its in their interest to perpetuate the fraud that is fiat money.
So what does that mean? It means that alternative currencies keep on getting shut down, hard.
A gold backed currency? Shut down and all the gold and silver confiscated and managers arrested and thrown in prison (its counterfeit money to have notes that don't claim to be legal tender backed by gold).
Alternative fiat currencies like bitcoin? Those get shut down a few years after inception.
Just trading in the raw metals? They introduce laws requiring obscene amount of paperwork and heavy taxes.
