>Both of these are fine, but they're opposing goals. Most economists agree that you want stability in a currency; that is the currency should act as an accounting measure only. It is a means of storing value at as close to NET zero

There will always be a need to have fully functional work environment OS such as windows 7/mac os x/linux....Android/iOS/Windows 8 are for the mainstream users who just want to check email/text/watch youtube. T

Yes but wouldn't it at least close the gap to make the time estimate a little more realistic?

I just don't know why people won't arbitrarily add 2-3 more time on the estimate...

There are multiple online options for buying on localbitcoins so you don't have to meet in person.

Bitcoin very well could fail...I think Bitcoin's major threat is a better cryptocurrency that could replace it.

This is trying fit a deflationary currency into a debt/consumption driven economy. Who says the best way to drive the economy is by taking on debt to consume good and services? I would argue that debt counteracts a lot of the gains s

I'm more interested in the Daily Transaction Quantity (table on right side http://coinometrics.com/bitcoin/btix ). Bitcoin still lags far behind. To put it in perspective: Paypal 7,700,000 transactions per day Bi

Hate when people use the tulips comparison. The basic protocol of bitcoin that allows people to send value anywhere in the world and solves the double spend problem must have some value unto itself. I don't know it's worth $0.10

I guess I am thinking about it from the perspective of some company like Amazon adopting it. That would be absolutely massive for bitcoin. I think we are still a long way from being able to "3d print" any product you need.

Average computing power and storage has gotten to a point that it now can handle the everyday stuff with relative ease. High-def video/gaming are the main areas where hardware still has to keep up with. Although one could argue that n
