Why are you so stuck...

I just read this whole thread:
Official Gox / CoinLab Integration and Transition FAQ
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148147.0;all

Bitcoin will need a real economy, especially after the USSA Gov shuts down CoinLab/USA MtGox and all that money/BTC is confiscated.

Would the USA boycot itself from bitcoin while the world adopts it? Seems like a dumb thing to do, at least in the long term. Basically becoming poor while all other countries run from fiat into bitcoin...

Almost exciting:
Too much speculation with only some real economy.



Why are you so stuck on transactions? Bitcoin replaces gold's purpose. It can serve the same long-term store and settlements utility with almost no consumer day-to-day transaction economy....and it would be quite successful and valuable.

How'd we get this XBT thing? Shouldn't it be INB for (INternet/INternational Bitcoin) to follow the ISO convention?

This is the kicker I use to blow people's minds when explaining bitcoins for the first time. After they get an understanding of what it is, how it works, and why it's useful, I point out that the higher bitcoin value goes, the more useful it becomes as a protocol for transfering money.

Until tomorrow, when Mr. 350,000 BTC decides he wants to see what happens.

Briefly, the Bitcoin market cap exceeded $400 million USD. The market capitalization is an upper bound for the monetary base, as many coins are not in circulation. This is the first time Bitcoin's market cap exceeded $400 million USD.

This excess allows the Bitcoin system to transfer more money without impacting the market significantly. Only 0.1% of the market capitalization needs to be moved to purchase a house, for example. A higher market capitalization allows Bitcoin's economy to strengthen.
