Some of the stuff in the thread is scary... It's like a F'ing gambling addiction.
Fortunately though it seems like no one is betting serious money, yet..

It's not serious money in the sense of affecting global markets, but it is still alot of money.
The number one Reddit post in /r/bitcoin is a list of numbers for suicide hotlines, because so many people lost so much money.

I'd say XBT is more like the Linux of currencies. It allows the user more granular control of their finances and privacy in much the same way the Linux allows users more granular control of their computer and network environments.
The same way that Linux is the underlying technology most servers etc are built upon, well, in the future banks will use XBT in much the same way. To the typical end user it won't really be that noticeable as they go on their day to day business. Just like adopting smartphones or something. Next thing you know everyone has them and the old ways are obsolete and forgotten.
