Where did it say that economic success alters your genome? Or why would using Bitcoin alter your genome?
If anything, I'd say our genome predisposes us to be prime candidates for using Bitcoin. I mean, we're generally a group of intellectuals, and that's, in part, due to our genetic makeup. At this point, a decently high level of intelligence is needed to fully grasp, understand, and utilize Bitcoins.
Genetic diversity is a logical predecessor to economic prosperity. Certain genetic makeups create people with certain talents, skills, and abilities. Having a variety of these talents, skills, and abilities is key to building up a fully capable economy. Managers and high-level thinkers are needed to make decisions just the same as people to dig holes in the ground or serve coffee are needed. Countries without diverse genomes could be viewed as places with too many managers and not enough coffee servers, or too few manages and too many coffee servers. With that sort of lopsided disposition to certain skillsets, economic growth can be stifled.

Quote from: Slashdot.org
"One side is accused of supporting ethnic cleansing; the other of being intellectually naive. Geneticists and economists are struggling to collaborate on research that explores how our genes influence and interact with economic behavior. Top economists are publishing a paper that claims a country's genetic diversity can predict the success of its economy. To critics, the economists' paper seems to suggest that a country's poverty could be the result of its citizens' genetic make-up, and the paper is attracting charges of genetic determinism, and even racism. But the economists say that they have been misunderstood, and are merely using genetics as a proxy for other factors that can drive an economy, such as history and culture."
Economics and genetics meet in uneasy union
So as it turns out according to economists ( by economist I presume they mean Keynesians) the West is genetically predisposed for economic success, and the monetary problems beginning to surface can be overlooked as we live in a world where genetics predict economic prosperity.
So can using Bitcoin alter your genome?
