there is demand for bitcoin, i agree it is little demand for very few applications. Fad is something else. bitcoin is'nt born perfect but people are trying to solve its problems.

you are right, but we are working in stealth; only to save the fun for a launch. The problem with showcasing the product too early is someone emails you claiming the troll IP, and it happened.
