If all Crypto Currencies are fairly similar and Bitcoin gets too high in price,  won't people just trade it in for the lower priced ones?   It seems like more stores will accept the lower priced currencies too.  I'm just trying to get a grasp on things and to see what other advantages bitcoin has - besides being first in the market. 

You really have no idea how anything works do you?

i think it will reach $10k and beyond, but this rally is over!!

Butter Fly Labs apparently filled the orders of FPGA's and it would sertainly not take long for stupid people to invest more into real expensive units arriving in March?, and it would certainly be a good business too extensively fill the first order, and not too fill the order of second delivery that started in November, this really stinks, but I really must say they can deliver, but it's real risky if they apparently get orders of 30M or apparently more, and then decide to not fill the request of orders, profit would be high enough to drive price of Bitcoin up or real much down, even for orders not filled it would take Bitcoin to go sky high in value, cause difficulty would not be stateable higher the first months when people should actually get the shipment.

So be aware that March would be an special speculative month for Bitcoin. It will raise or fall dramaticly in value if orders are fullfilled or not.

I've had good luck dealing with Coinbase but I do worry if I try to sell when their's a run on BTC or an (even temporary) 'crash' - will they be able to deliver?
Or will they do something ludicrous like 'due to heavy volume we are suspending selling your BTC' sort of thing..
But then again there seems to be no guarantee on this anywhere..

Maybe the best bet is to have many accounts in many exchanges where you can sell small amounts of your btc at a moment's notice?
