I dunno why a lot is jumping in both exchanges and mining pools but yet no one is jumping for something like amazon-btc or ebay-btc. Do we have to wait so long for someone genius enough to create the first successful online merchant-market then we all start copying it ?
The only reason you are scared of them copying Bitcoin is because of personal greed. I think it would be great if large merchandizers adopted a distributed crypto-currency that is not under their control.
Sorry, but do I sound like afraid of having more online merchants? I said I wish I can see more and more! in fact I hope the rally for opening new exchanges and mining pools redirect to be a rally on opening new online merchants !.
