Sysadmins in important positions the world over use Bitcoin, this is why it could never be made "illegal" to own/use, the world's largest hedge funds, governments, and contractors would lose too many of their best networking/infrastructure professionals.

Sysadmins are like the cult in fight club? DAM I should have been a sysadmin all us programmers do is get drunk and make funny commits on git Sad

They're a systemic macro hedge fund based in Cambridge... Anyone else aware of much direct hedge fund activity/interest in bitcoin?

This could, of course, just be a rogue sysadmin having fun with bitcoind... Wink
