I'm a freelance worker (I do content creation, online marketing, graphics, etc for companies) and am thinking of accepting BTCs which is why I'm researching the subject, being new to this currency. What strikes me is that so many people seem to be focusing on investing or doing speculative trading, but there is very little actual real goods trades going on, where people use Bitcoins to buy and sell products or services. Any currency is valued based on offer and demand, but right now there is very little demand for BTCs, am I wrong? It seems to me that we should be focused on trying to get more companies to accept bitcoins in order to ensure the future growth of the currency.
