> It's not one guy bartering It takes two to barter. > treating it effectively like a foreign currency They really aren't. They accept bitcoins in exchange for goods/services, just like we see in any barter system. Calling bitcoins "foreign currency" is just a desperate attempt to hide the obvious consequences of it's volatility, which eliminates it's role as money, not only as a store of value but also as unit of account. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money
