most people buying bitcoins are speculators hoarding them and not use them, so i know there is a lot of you out there.
despite what you hope, there are many reasons why bitcoins may never enter mainstream, and just limp along in the periphery of society.
so no, the bankers are not going to send in federal agents to crush bitcoins to 0, but neither is it going to replace the u.s. dollars.
so perhaps the trading price will just random walk between say, $5 and $40.
now what?
