The limited supply of BTC should cause deflation of the currency. In other words the BTC will become more valuable as demand continues to exceed supply. This is opposed to how most traditional currencies work. I will use USD as I am more familiar with it. The US Treasury can print additional money. This money is more or less created from nothing. As supply increases and we assume constant demand the value decreases.

As far as divisibility,  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ#How_divisible_are_bitcoins.3F

This is a good start. Currently BTC is divisible down to 8 decimal places. If needed this can be increased.

Lower limits will likely be adjusted and fees will be reduced to reflect the increased value of the BTC. However it will take time for companies to adjust their fees. The market reacts quickly, companies will soon follow.

I am fairly new as well so I will refrain from commenting on your last two questions Smiley

If you are serious about investing in cryptocurrencies and are nervous, invest over time at set intervals.
Stop trying to read the market, it's something no one has ever seen before. Anything goes.

Agreed. The technology is revolutionary; it is not simply a get rich scheme. The buzz and hype are helping to promote and hopefully legitimize the currency for the general public.

Crypto is the currency of the people and I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

I missed the first go around, but I have some skin in the game now.

I am really enjoying the ride with my ltc right now.

I wonder where the new equilibrium will be. Here's hoping it's higher yet.
