just hope we don't see a "toboggan run" down this steep slope when everyone xfers their BTC to USD in a panic to get ROI back.
Why would anyone want to convert a promising sound currency for an exponentially-printed-to-oblivion/give-inflation-to-bankers-enslave-everyone-else/no-control-over-your-money corrupt currency?
There are people who-need-to-pay-bills-in-USD-and-dont-holding-much-USD-anymore.
I agree, spend USD first, but when you dont have more, you need to use BTC
there are ~3.600BTC a day, imagine the impact each and every miner would really sell all mined coins each day
..exactly, it won't matter at all as it would be 10-15% of coins transfered in 1h, stop hunting ghosts
