You made my day

Ok, first thread, so I decided to use a linkbait title. I have several issues with BTC right now so maybe some people can help me. Disclaimer: I'm in now way an economic expert, so I might be completely off.

- The short term issue of BTC is clearly stability. Prices tend to fluctuate too much, especially when the general public reads about it and suddenly buys some.
- As no country/state/city/physical place recognize BTC, all prices are just converted from USD, especially for physical goods.
- It is impossible to live off BTC.

Is the combination of those factors too big for BTC to be a successful currency in the future?
Will BTC remain a currency only used by a few to buy things, and by the others to trade on MTGox and the likes?

Hi everyone, long time lurker, decided to register and probably buy some BTC, even though doing so from Lao PDR is not easy

Let's do this !
