As I'm new to Bitcoin I don't have a good sense of Bitcoin's current or potential rise in value.  I would imagine that there are many who are ready to jump into Bitcoin solely due to it's meteoric rise in the past month or from the start of this year.  I would think, too, that as, or if, Bitcoin becomes very much mainstream it's appreciation potential would certainly taper off.

Does anyone anywhere track the growth of retail establishments, whether on-line or brick and mortar, accepting Bitcoins?  I would assume that the longevity of Bitcoin would depend on it's eventual fulfillment as a utility to make common, everyday purchases.

I'm cut short on this post as I have to leave, like, NOW.

But I've some other thoughts I'd like to add.  Later.

I don't have, nor ever had, this problem any other forum I frequent.  It seems to be exclusive to this forum.

I was checking out Bitcoin charts for mtgox/THB and noticed that the chart ends as of March 15th.  Are Bitcoins no longer convertible to THB?  And why/how did that happen?

I happen to live in Thailand.

If only 22 million Bitcoins can ever be in existence and Bitcoins can be lost forever what are the effects to the system when large amounts of Bitcoins are lost?

Google Chrome locks up whenever I scroll to the bottom of a page.  Never had this happen before.  Is it just me?  And if so, any solutions?

It's getting hard to ignore Bitcoin these days.  I'm just learning about Bitcoin so I hope this is the place to have my questions answered.

It's getting difficult to ignore Bitcoin.  I welcome any system that would destroy the bankers of the world.  Just started learning about Bitcoin so I hope to have my questions answered here.
