If ever there were a textbook example of apples/oranges, this would be it.

- Aqueous 13y agoThe example is helpful, though. In each of those cases something very much better came along to replace it. The same thing could very well happen with BitCoin. Someone mentioned forking BitCoin and tweaking the algorithm to remove the artificial ceiling of 21 million units, and replace it with an algorithm which monitors all the transactions taking pace and adjusts monetary policy in response to them, in order to produce a steady inflation rate. Such a currency might very well be more desirable than one with deflationary tendencies. Bottom line - unless someone figures out a way to replace BitCoin with something better, I see no reason to believe BitCoin is going away anytime soon.
