That's a good point.  It's unfortunately that only a small handful of people are actually dedicated to making Bitcoin a useable currency rather than a get rich quick scheme.
Enjoying the dose of reality or getting a laugh out of my posts? Feel free to toss me a penny or two, everyone else seems to be doing it! 1Kn8NqvbCC83zpvBsKMtu4sjso5PjrQEu1

the volatiles in price made it very difficult for merchants to price their goods in terms of BTCs.

I'm pretty sure that's only a problem if you arn't good at coding, and design your website with static prices.

And if you guys can show me a market that the dollar doesn't have direct influence over that would be great.

Non-static prices are a form of failure. If the prices are tied to another currency, you could just as well use that currency directly. Why the unnecessary (costly) conversion to Bitcoin in the middle?
