first this one I must say it bothers me when you say the central bankers are subsidizing miners.. when people take out insurance policies do you say they are subsidizing insurance companies?

approach of year2k could have created a massive amount of replacing old systems in the past five years..so I am curious what the demand will be over next few years.. I would guess the new systems wouldn't need to be replaced for a long time.. again..what surprised me was that I assume that IBM makes a great deal of money providing software consultants to many businesses..so I had expected a boost in revenue from last minute preparations for year2k.. that is why I assumed that because all is well here.. I also assume that things are fine in Europe because there must have been a lot of new systems to incorporate the euro.. assumptions and a token get you one ride on subway
