they have to be traded constantly and thats just not happening enough ,its been said before but if you had a 5 dollar note and a bitcoin in your pocket you would buy your lunch with the 5 dollar note
No, I'd be thrilled to buy it with bitcoin and if I was dying to keep my investment 100% in bitcoins, I'd go home and buy more.
The "hoarding problem" is not really a problem as long as the exchanges are as easy to use as Bitfloor.
the current exchanges are anything but "easy to use "
intersango is fcked (cant get money in or out) ,gox has got too much rules and regulations and delays and i dont personally trust small exchanges with big transactions
so i would prefer person to person trading ,face to face if necessary
