Title: If BTC was the world's leading currency... Post by: peach on June 25, 2011, 04:30:22 PM If BTC was the world's leading currency and worth a million or so USD, how would people really deal with buying very inexpensive things (<0.5 usd)? Would we have to move the decimal places so that 1 old BTC = 100,000 New BTC or something?

You can use 0.0000001 btc without problems. Title: Re: If BTC was the world's leading currency... Post by: ploum on June 25, 2011, 04:36:35 PM Thanks, I was really not happy with the "newbie should have 100 messages to post in the main forum" policy.

Government can't put tax (or charge, I'm not sure about the verb) on it. Black market will have an intractable currency. We can have transactions with no one know about it, so we will me more free. But do we really want to be free ? I don't think BTC can be the world's leading currency. But it could be the black market's leading currency. And everybody can buy and sell on black market. :D Title: Re: If BTC was the world's leading currency... Post by: bonker on June 25, 2011, 06:35:16 PM You use decimal?

No one, cus it's stupid, cus you get robbed too easily. Just like bitcoin. You can't use bitcoin for anything yet, its a white elephant! Also my middle name is Hoze!

I highly doubt BTC will ever lead the world's currency, maybe something based around BTC though.
