I've studied Economics, supply chain, and money flow a lot.  I've also put these principles into practice most of my life.  If anyone who reads this cares about bitcoin prices going up at a faster and much more stable rate please let me explain how it needs to be done simply then with detail.

Simply put: product/manufacturer providers need to accept bitcoin

Why:  Merchants Love Bitcoin already, Newegg is even putting a lot of its total purchases to encourage the bitcoin progress (incredible), but what do these merchants have to do?  Sell the bitcoins.  This means the end of the bitcoin money flow, this is bad since it increases bitcoin supply and reduces overall demand.

How to resolve it?  Figure out why the merchants need to sell the bitcoins.  Currently they have to in order to stay in business because their suppliers, paychecks to employees, powerbills, exc all want USD, focusing on merchants is great but unless we can make A full loop with money flow, Please keep that in mind FULL LOOP.  Whenever the money has to be converted to USD the value is decreased, whenever a full loop can be made there is less selling of bitcoins and increase in bitcoin value.

So the first way to increase value: Full loop of purchases from employees getting paid bitcoin, purchasing from a merchant with bitcoin, the merchant getting supplies by paying with bitcoin (not USD), and the suppliers paying their expenses through BTC as much as possible.

Not an easy task, but with the number of merchants now accepting bitcoin, bitcoin has already come a long way.

There is at least one other aspect that increases the Bitcoin value: Investors
