I'm just wondering how people see the evolution of cryptocurrency. TBH I've already used QR codes on my smartphone to do local cash exchanges and it worked great. I'm trying to get local businesses to add QR codes and accept bitcoins at the register. Personally I see one major legit online merchant as being the major roadblock. If we could easily spend at places like Newegg I think the world would wake up and realize this isn't going away. Before that can happen though I think that Coinsetter will have to be online and completely legitimized with the US Gov'ment stamp of approval. As much as I hate to see Wall Street and the Banking industry get a foothold in bitcoin I think we need to accept that it's a necessary bridging step before the herd will trust it.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I plan on building up a nice wallet full so that I can eventually start trading. I'd like to get into the game big time once coinsetter releases their platform.

I'm undecided at this point. I do plan on holding and stacking until I get an amount I'm fine with. From there, I'll most likely use it for bullion and web services that I could use as well as getting into Coinsetter once it's up and running.
