For your average Joe and Jane, Dwolla Grid solves whatever problems related to moving money that bitcoin solves, and does it unquestionably legally too. And at $0.25 per transaction of any size, it's not much more expensive that the eventual suggested .01 BTC transaction fee and that at CURRENT exchange rates.

I believe that BTC will end up being no cheaper to use as an online transaction method than Dwolla or other new cash services. And in fact will be much more expensive from a certain point of view because of the cryptic disconnect from going from USD to BTC.

At any rate, your little explanation is still an outrageously tenuous reason for justifying BTC trading at "hundreds of times its current value."

In fact, if "ease of transactions" is the pinnacle of your vast speculative over-estimation of value, you have my sincere pity and concern for your well-being.
PayPal had a lot of great ideas too until EBay bought it and made it a lot less useful. The same thing will happen to Dwolla if it gets big.

You should also consider how ease of use has advanced over the last six months and extrapolate that into the future instead of basing your assessment on the current state of the software.

"BitPal had a lot of great ideas too until BitBay bought it and made it a lot less useful. The same thing will happen to BitBuddy if it gets big."

...you were saying?
