No offense but bitcoin is not backed by anything. There is no government forcing its use. How can bitcoin go to anywhere but to zero? What would be exciting if a country adopted it for its currency.

I consider bitcoin to be commodity money in a way. It derives value from it's properties, which are quite useful. As long as there are like-minded people, it will have value.

What would be exiting is if all states were to suddenly disappear! Cheesy

BitCoin is backed by the community of people who value it and accept it for goods and services. As long as that community exists, bitcoins will be worth something. Earlier this week the community successfully absorbed a 30,000+ BTC selloff and had prices back to the pre-sell levels within 48 hours--I'd say the community is doing a pretty darn good job of backing the bitcoin.

Neither is gold.

You consider this a bad thing?

Because Bitcoin is becoming more popular, while U.S. government continues to debase the dollar.

I'll throw a good business idea: the best way for such polls will be bets with bitcoins.

the rsi just moved into oversold territory and the candlestick broke out of the Bollinger band
it could still fall to 0.5 but I suspect the turnaround will be dramatic. I'm still adding to my position so to speak Wink

Yeah, I'm just like you, I don't think the exchange rate is that important, except for the mood Grin

But I still think it's interesting to see what people think about its future evolution.

Don't also forget that the community grown in the last two month. This is good for the fundamental.

The price of bitcoin influences my mood but not my outlook.

In my opinion, the price of bitcoin is going to zigzag, go up and down, and so on. As long as new services and goods come into existence, then we will be just fine.

Don't forget that we rose to dollar parity in almost a vertical jump. Before that, we were in the 0.3 to 0.4 range.

With the bitcoin to USD exchange rate falling steadily for one month now, I thought it would be interesting to know what people think about the future.
