Title: Re: Value of BTC with current economic fundamentals Post by: joecascio on April 01, 2013, 11:42:49 PM It seems to me that what's driving bitcoin's growth is unique functional capability that other forms of currency/commodity do not have. This is not a simple comparison to existing traditional currencies, but rather a technology adoption curve, which behaves much differently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_adoption_lifecycle

Hopefully hit the $25-$30 billion range in illegal tobacco sales. Then I will convert to Bitcoin for all trades. By illegal tobacco it is usually selling non-FDA approved cigarettes in the back alley or distributing packets of cigarettes without a warning label. All very dangerous of course, but it is a dangerous world, such is the life of an illegal tobacco dealer. 8) Title: Re: Value of BTC with current economic fundamentals Post by: zoinky on April 02, 2013, 12:36:00 AM I think this has been answered many times.

I thought you were asking about 5-10 years down the line? It is very likely the block limit will be raised, also more services will pop up that handle transactions in-house instead of writing every single one to the blockchain. To be honest, these threads are moot. Your guess is as good as anybody else's. And if you don't know the outcome of the replies you will receive from the Speculation forum... |
