I like parallel processing of large data sets as much as the next guy, so I would say I am interested in both. If I would have to choose I would say I am more interested in bitcoin since Apache has MapReduce pretty well documented already. While the mining and purchasing of bitcoin is pretty well documented, transfers are less so.
