The question is: will that be cheapter than what we do today? How much is not having to trust anybody in the middle worth?
I don't quite understand your thinking. Why not just use Bitcoin as money?
There is no thinking to understand - you're an optimist
I however don't see my boss paying me in btc anytime soon.My thoughts circle around adoption of bitcoin and I see the replacement of hawala systems as one of the main drivers in the near future.
That is, getting cash from A to B globally, but now without anybody you need to trust in the middle.
Cash still beats bitcoin when it comes to lack of tracability and wide acceptance, I would expect this to stay that way.
Regarding the walls: I'm so bored, i just bought at 57.0x to sell at 58 - .0x MtGox will be happy about it.
