The fact is that even if node is good and interesting there will be still a long time until things work.. dev said about 9-12 months if i remember right. If u have spare money u can wait without problem.. but mostly of the guys in here don't like to wait more than a few weeks or couple months.. Besides waiting all that time with the current dolar situation and euro going to reach parity with dolar and lot of other things make waiting a year something risky.. Also because in that time another node competitor can appear.. I still have NODE's left and let's see what future will give us.. But all this is a highly unstable scenario and while 10 years ago dolar was the undeniable world currency now his ground is not so solid and everyone knows that.. That's why EEUU allies joined BAII even if EEUU told them not to and see BAII like a direct threat to dolar hegemony. I would be scared of having dolars.. im much more safe in bitcoin, gold or yuans.. And all this scare people to invest and scare them even more of having to wait 1 year to check how something is gonna work. Dolar is gonna fall for sure.. this year? maybe not.. next years.. unpredictable.. with that scenario dudes.. well.. world is gonna have a hard time.
I agree with You , quite a precarious situation with the dollar and the Euro. We also think the situation with Yuán, Swiss franc and gold. We even consider this possibility to connect an account of gold (XAU) to the client Node. There are banks that offer such accounts. Most likely the Node will be implemented several currency pairs (those currencies which are backed by the Bank with whom we contract).
The situation is more than fragile indeed. I am in located in Germany and from the inside it is obvious that the whole EURO is doomed to fail, and is indeed failing right now.
Greece and the greek people are not really to blame for the present situation there. Also, it is not only Greece: The whole EURO zone is bankrupt.
Consider what has happened in Cyprus two years ago: The banks just closed on friday afternoon, and simply didnt open again the following monday.
And the peoples money was stolen, by decree of the 'European Union'.
Wow. The Nazis and the Communists had to send truckloads of armed thugs at 4 in the morning. How inefficient! What amateurs!
This WILL happen again, and on much larger scales.
So what makes crypto currency different from fiat? IT CAN'T BE CONFISCATED LIKE FIAT CAN!
Regardless of the price in Satoshis of node today or tomorrow, I think this is an extremely important thing to remember!
, isnt it bit different? 
i could be wrong
