I will sell 1 bitcoin.
I will buy dollars with a single bitcoin when I am able to pay off my $160,000 mortgage with the proceeds from that sale.
That will be the last time I buy dollars with my Bitcoin currency.
All of the rest will be spent or held.

Okay. So you are betting on a $160,000 bitcoin price? Or do you already have $179,800 of that, and only need a $200 bitcoin? |

if bitcoin ever went that high transaction fees would be like 100 dollars a piece. If transaction fees ever went that high no one would want to use bitcoin. Ergo bitcoin will probably never go that high. |

Ergo bitcoin will probably never go that high. Aren't transaction fee's built into the client software - and not the bitcoin network. For example: The original client (Qt) charges BTC.0005 Multibit client charges twice at BTC.0010 If fee's depend on the client, it can change. |

Bitcoin-Qt currently imposes a minimum BTC0,0005 fee on "low-priority" transactions. There is no minimum fee imposed for "high-priority" transactions.

I am thinking that the day that Bitcoins are worth $160,000/BTC the price of bread will likely be over $100/loaf.
I do not see that scenario as being too far into the future.
I am glad my home loan is in dollars.

Well, he would already be $19,800 clear of his mortgage, so thats probably not the case. |

There is a limited amount of space in each block, even if you increased the block size to infinity miners would still only be able to receive a limited number transactions before the total volume of incoming transactions outpaced their bandwidth. |

that's weird using commas for decimal point, how do you write something like: 1000,000,000.0005 ? |

So you're going to sell a currency that went up 2000% in 8 months, to pay a mortgage that charges you 5-6% at the most??? I don't see it, sorry... maybe you might want to reduce your bitcoin investment and sell half... but I wouldn't sell all! There's no guarantee that the BTC price won't plummet to the basement, and he would lose his opportunity to be debt-free. |

Actually, I believe that calls for a vanity address  |
