This is a very interesting potential experiment, and I would love to see this.
Is there any way to track adoption of Bitcoin? I would wager that it's more popular inside a financial crisis (like gold hoarding). Does the anonymous nature of Bitcoin prevent data like this? Maybe you could index it via: how many businesses accept bitcoin.
Edit: If the economy was bad enough you could set up a bunch of machines to mine bitcoin and wield quite a bit of coinage.
- technotony 14y agoThere would be several ways to index it: 1. People buying (or selling) bitcoins (through money in-out flows on exchanges, perhaps creating a local exchange) 2. Businesses which accept them 3. Downloads of apps or other tools which let people transact with each other
- sroerick 14y agoI thought that there was no way to track how many people buy bitcoins. Would this exclusively be through a public market, then, or is bitcoin less anonymous than I thought?
