What Bitcoin needs most are sellers and buyers of actual goods. None of them are motivated right now to use Bitcoins. On the other hand, investors and hoarders are motivated a lot.
If the situation does not change soon, the bubble will burst and there will be a lot of upset users and Bitcoin 2.0 with different rules will appear...
You may read thread:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9487.msg140015#msg140015- where I proof, bitcoin currency will not survive @ current rules.
Now, I am searching for data to confirm/disconfirm my proof. You may help me, if you research the following:
- how many traders there are on all BTC exchanges world-wide, as graph/function of time?
- how many miners there are on all BTC pools (&singles) world-wide, as graph/function of time?
- how many goods (kinds of goods, volumes of goods) sell directly for BTC world-wide, as graph/function of time?
