Yes more is better. What do people know of it. Except that bigger block will bring more profit.
People are not interested in details. Not of bitcoin nor of agriculture. What they care is that apple taste good.

Money Isn’t Free, but Moving It Is Now Cheaper

Payment startups disrupt traditional cash-transfer firms by offering nearly instantaneous, zero-cost services

By CHRISTOPHER MIMS
June 7, 2015 6:23 p.m. ET

One day last year, at the height of the Ukrainian revolution, Mark Howard spotted something interesting on television. In the background, a protester was holding up a poster with an instantly recognizable logo: A “B” with two vertical bars, the symbol for the digital currency bitcoin.

Mr. Howard is an American IT specialist and a self-described bitcoin enthusiast. He surmised that the poster’s QR code, which is a kind of square bar code, must contain the address of a bitcoin wallet belonging to the protesters. On a whim, he froze the frame, scanned the code with an app on his phone, and sent $10 worth of bitcoin to a country whose banks were paralyzed but whose protesters needed money to continue their fight. It happened instantly, and the total cost of the transaction was $0.02.

If using unregulated cryptocurrency to crowd-fund foreign revolutions sounds like a quintessentially 21st-century edge case, here’s a thing you need to know: The same fundamental technologies that enabled Mr. Howard’s impromptu act of foreign aid are being used by hundreds of other companies, in many countries, to do something that has never happened in the history of money: Exchange it at any distance, nearly instantaneously and for near-zero transaction fees.

We are just at the start of understanding what this will mean. The safe bet is that the easier it is to exchange money, the more of it will be exchanged, with obvious implications for economies that successfully integrate these technologies.

a propaganda thread like this can surely help it a bit, to not fall at least, there should be one in every forum of bitcoin/altcoin and anything related to it

World's First Cryptobond Has First Buyer

Published: June 8, 2015 8:00 a.m. ET

Overstock.com CEO Makes Historic Purchase of a Digital Bond Issued on Bitcoin's Blockchain

SALT LAKE CITY, Jun 08, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) --

Overstock.com, Inc. OSTK, +2.27% announced its CEO Patrick M. Byrne today made the first purchase of the world's first cryptobond for $500,000. Working with other qualified institutional buyers, the company intends to sell a total of $25 million in digital bonds to trade on a cryptographically-protected distributed ledger – the same technology that underlies cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.

"It's not exactly Jonas Salk injecting himself with his polio vaccine, but I wanted to own the first cryptosecurity ever issued," stated Byrne. "I intend to demonstrate my belief not just in Overstock, but in the TØ.com platform that we built and, indeed, in the cryptorevolution itself."

...

TØ.com is powered by the blockchain and the Open Assets protocol. Those who purchase cryptobonds through TØ.com will be able to track their ownership on the bitcoin blockchain. Trades on TØ.com securely settle same day, as opposed to the customary three day settlement on Wall Street (referred to as "T+3"). According to Byrne, issuing the TIGRcub bonds on the TØ.com platform proves that cryptotechnology can facilitate transparent and secure access to capital by emerging companies.

Overstock just opened up the bond market:

The bond market (also debt market or credit market) is a financial market where participants can issue new debt, known as the primary market, or buy and sell debt securities, known as the secondary market. This is usually in the form of bonds, but it may include notes, bills, and so on.

Its primary goal is to provide long-term funding for public and private expenditures. The bond market has largely been dominated by the United States, which accounts for about 44% of the market.[1]

As of 2009, the size of the worldwide bond market (total debt outstanding) is an estimated at $82.2 trillion,[2]
of which the size of the outstanding U.S. bond market debt was $31.2 trillion according to Bank for International Settlements (BIS),
or alternatively $35.2 trillion as of Q2 2011 according to Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA).[2]

Nearly all of the average daily trading in the U.S. bond market takes place between broker-dealers and large institutions in a decentralized over-the-counter (OTC) market.[3]
However, a small number of bonds, primarily corporate ones, are listed on exchanges.

Today.

Overstock opened up.

The bond market.

To Bitcoin.

We have waited for the Bitlicense for - what - one year? There was lots of uncertainty because of that. Now that it's done, it has to mean something, right? It seems that the (bearish) market maker at Bitfinex doesn't get this
