You know what the nihilist in me would like to see? Derivative contracts on the future worth of instagram models and YouTube stars traded using BitCoin. Maybe even derivatives on top of derivatives, such as swaps on "prime" and "sub-prime" tranches of YouTube stars :-)

The entire process would be confusing as hell to most folks, who continue to exist in denial that most modern "work" is already a surreal effect of the networking of human beings enabled to an exponential degree (exacerbated?) by technology.

The Unabomber must be laughing hard in jail, reading today's news headlines.
