If Bitcoin is going to fly fly fly ... to the moon ... then expect more and more businesses to drop it and stop using it.
that is a very valid point.
in terms of usability the hike in price is not a good news.
for trading purposes a more steady coin is needed.
which means that bitcoin will be more of an investment token not a coin that we will be making business transactions in.
which leave us with ... ripple?
Yes, that's what we use for our faucet as mentioned in the very first post in this thread.
Ripple solves lots of problems that Bitcoin cannot solve, one of them is sending micro transactions for such a small fee.
In fact at the current rates we are converting more of our BTC to XRP, because we firstly need it for our faucet and secondly because BTC/XRP has never seen rates like this and it's a good thing to take advantage of it.
