The idiot troll arrives to talk "Economics", demanding explanations, lol. Roll Eyes

.... day late and a dollar short? train left the station without you.

I am a troll? What argument do you have against what I said? It seems like the common argument against anyone who goes against bitcoins is that they are just trolling. And I'm not even against bitcoins. I'm buying as much as I can, and I use them to purchase things. But I also recognize bitcoin's flaws, and I think that until everyone recognizes them bitcoin will never be mainstream. I also think that the currency can't stay stable with this kind of mentality. People want bitcoins to increase in value exponentially, but this type of instability is good for no one but the few people who got in early.

The fact is, no matter what might happen, Bitcoin is nowhere near as successful as any of the supposed "failing" fiat currencies. Maybe in a 100 years it will be just as successful, but none of us are going to live that long. The bitcoin economy isn't as big as a single fiat currency. It also isn't nearly as stable. The value of a bitcoin fluctuates constantly, and prices change to reflect it. What if one day you went to the grocery store and everything was twice as expensive because the price of bitcoins plummeted? The average person will never agree to that kind of system.

It seems you aready one step ahead of us all you seem to know everything.

So now i have a question for you: why did you buy bitcoins Huh
