the truth is you can spend coins on Amazon with no problems! Anything shipped right to your door!~ i think people who sensationalize a scalabilty problem should reevaluate the facts !
No argument from me on that one.
Being a long-term hoarder/saver, I try not to ever spend/sell any coins unless absolutely necessary or considerably more convenient than fiat currency.
An example of the latter would be for travel. If you don't use credit cards, booking hotels can be a little tricky. Expedia accepts Bitcoin.
Now if only Paypal would smarten up and do the same, I wouldn't miss out on eBay bargains due to the high cost and slow process of making deposits. My principal means of adding money to my Paypal account is through Stubhub sales of excess baseball tickets. Even that is a slow process.
Compared to cash and Bitcoin, anything that involves banks or other financial service companies is excruciatingly slow.
