I just read "Got a decent windfall of BTC, what to do?" and it gave me some new information. I thought that Bitcoins were worth whatever they were worth - had a fixed price or fixed USD equivalent - but apparently the worth of Bitcoins fluctuates! What do you think about this fact? I was wanting to use Bitcoins but now I don't feel that using them would be especially safe because what if I made the incorrect choice about at what value to buy or sell? That seems tricky for people who don't play the stock market. I think that Bitcoins are just what we need - finally, something new! But apparently they aren't going to be as simple to use as I thought.

If something is worth a constant amount of dollars it's value is indeed not constant but declining. Actually declining quite rapidly as well.
