The only thing unsavory about me is my bellybutton smut, which is decidedly sweet.

Can you say if the job is bitcoin related?
The project which I was hired for is unrelated to bitcoin. It's actually an open source logic gate simulator. You can download the source here:

Oh, that's a lot better than I expected from the title.
I thought it was going to be "No one hired me in a day, Bitcoins are a scam."
Congrats on getting a job that pays solid money. I think you're part of the growing group that leads us to a great place.

Alex Jones has discovered Bitcoin. Comments are much more positive than I would have expected.

it is going swimmingly over at sensibleerection.com, front page, over 100 comments, so i wrote a little diddy and posted my video.
I hope that he is supporting it.
Of course he's supporting Bitcoin. He means that the project is dangerous to governments and central banks.see this post to get it straight from the horse's mouth

Do you think he was trying to praise bitcoin? I re-read it several times to see if that was the case. I also put in a disclaimer. The fact that so many could be so confused means that at least he was unclear about his intentions. Saying things that approximate to this is the most dangerous thing we've ever seen unless government puts a stop to it, is not the right way to say its disruptive. I saw major flaws in his discussion.
1) No mention of the lack of a central bank (and subsequent negative effects)
I cannot fathom having a reasonable discussion about bitcoin without talking about this. To me its like saying the advantage of Linux is the cute penguin logo and ignoring the fact that its free.
2) He focuses heavily on the drug and prostitution angle
I do not know his exact political beliefs, but I can tell you he does not come off as a libertarian in his podcast. Focus on this means he is lacks vision.
I hope that he is supporting it. If so, I hope he clarifies his point soon, because his post is dangerous against P2P currency.

The intention of Jason Calacanis is to praise bitcoin. However, he didn't qualify what dangerous actually mean in its context.
Chris, I liked your response to @Jason. Even though he wanted to praise the effort of bitcoin, he still believes that it will become patently illegal and that the combined international forces of OECD/FATF will be brought to bear upon bitcoin. I think he enjoys the disruptive part of bitcoin but only as a spectator. The liberation of individual private value transfer is what should be stressed. Laws against bitcoin will be largely unenforceable at the p2p level anyway and it is far better to move forward in making the laws irrelevant than it is to predict legality in certain jurisdictions. If bitcoin were not 'dangerous' to some in the monetary hierarchy, then it would not be disruptive enough.
