The price of Bitcoins is starting to show all signs of a bubble. I believe that a currency doubling in value each second month lacks the thrustworthiness to become a substantial currency. Another problem is the uneveness of distribution: If a handful of people holds a significant percentage of the whole moneysupply, the stability of the of the price and moral consent is both at risk. No, its not from jealousness - I've bought my Bitcoins already.

Is it not time to start Bitcoin2? (I presume it is technically achieveable..?) It would get a much broader start and not bear such likeness of lottery. And the rate of mining new coins shold be set to level of in much longer perspective, and for a much larger number. And some smart way of exchange between the old and new Bitcoin.



fork what ever you want to fork. May the blockchain be with you and your merkle roots ever hashable.

Op, there are a plethora of wannabe bitcoins called Alternative Cryptocurrencies https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0
The more you learn about them, the more you'll support bitcoin.

But I agree that more currencies could be useful, because they can have different properties than bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a zero-sum vehicle whose spot price is derived entirely from speculation. If it were centralized, transferring said value from one vehicle to the next would be easy. Since it is decentralized, every single bitcoin holder, miner and user would need to agree.
