Yeah energy is kind of a deal breaker here, it's expensive enough to have the heating on for two hours a day.

I think I'm with rilla, I've been kind of thinking that myself. If I can spend $100 on bitcoins, and have 0.1 or whatever, well if in five years that's worth $2k, that's a free holiday to see my friends in NZ. I think the only people who get ridiculous returns are those who mined early when it was easy and are letting them go now. I suspect the majority of us will have to settle for more modest returns.
