It worries me to a certain degree that there doesn't appear to be a steady growth of services and stores accepting bitcoins.
So what?
Let's be honest , most people in this thread have no desire of spending their hard earned coins anytime soon. BTC is more like an electronic improved version of gold. And it's not like I can go to a shop with half an ounce of gold in my hand and buy me a smartphone... at least not for the moment. And I don't care... gold is a commonly accepted store of value nevertheless. Enough for me to hold it and change it back into fiat at need.
If anyone quotes this please save me the lecture about BTC having no intrinsic value as opposed to gold. Perception is value.
