Discussion: Will BitCoin mainly be used to buy things people want, not need?

[whatisthename]

What do you guys think?

It seems like BitCoin could mainly be used to buy things such as TVs, Amazon Gift Cards, Video Games, Computers, etc etc?

Will it be possible to use them for things we NEED though?  Or will Government get in the way for such things? Such as gasoline, groceries, electricity, rent, natural gas, etc etc?

What are your thoughts. Will it be harder to use BitCoins for things you NEED? Thanks for reading!

If I am the landlord, why not let you pay me in bitcoins....

I think in the near future bitcoin will mainly be used for internet services and not for real world products. The price is currently much too unstable to fit the needs of a currency.

The price of a product has to depend on the request of the product not on the request of the currency.

...and then you convert some of your BitCoins into USD to pay property taxes?
