what proportion of bitcoin is actually spent? i'm gonna guess that it's not very much. using it for shopping and all is cool but i think it's a little bit of a sideshow. most of the action is trading it and speculating.
the bigger question is if no one speculates on bitcoin what might happen?
I think this is the closet to reality.
Very few people spends bitcoin outside of the BTC world TODAY.
I have yet to replace any FIAT transaction with BTC.
i don't know, you may be right about this but i have always tried and actually prefered to spend bitcoin instead of fiat anywhere i can.
for example as soon as steam added bitcoin payment to their system i started using it instead of using any other method and have already spent around $100 there
