You can tell the future price of bitcoin by looking at that gibberish chart?

John Stephenson, portfolio manager at First Asset Investment Management, says that Bitcoin's price is driven by more than rational fundamentals, despite recent acceptance by some. Every time a new vendor comes on, that's positive for Bitcoin," says Stephenson. But, the reality is this is just a total mania; there is absolutely nothing behind this. It's never going to be a mainstream currency," says Stephenson. If you go to Cabo Kabul and you need to take a taxi and you give someone a $10 US bill, they know exactly what that is. You give them a Canadian dollar bill with Gene Wilder on it, they don't have a clue what that is. And, ultimately greater acceptance is what's necessary to calm volatility. "Financial expert" *Yawns* ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) . Good job to the host putting this fool down.

I live in Europe and haven't seen all the bills in circulation. If I suddenly got paid in hungarian Forint I wouldn't know its price, it would just be a strange piece of paper. There is no such thing with bitcoin, as it can be, and already is advertised. Are the canadian bills advertised? Can a guy in Kabul turn on the news and hear "Pay for your expenses with canadian $, the money of the future?" He who calls himself an expert should know that this is not a good point.

They will happily take CAD, USD and Euros in Kabul. Bitcoin? Not so much. FYI Afghanis don't really like their own currency. They use PKR, IRR and hard currencies.

It's early days for Bitcoin so I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before there's taxis in Kabul and in other places that will be happy to take Bitcoin.

I don't get why people keep drawing lines on those graphs and then say this should happen again and again. Once it's low it will probably go high once again, yeah but you don't need to know rocket science to see that(I hope). We don't draw lines on graphs from things like gas right? Guess there is a reason for that, we can't predict anything(only guess/hope). They should really do something else than draw those lines haha ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

I remember these sort of articles hitting the front page of yahoo finances at the top of the previous metals bull runs. (If it is on the front page of Yahoo Finance, you probably already missed the upside)

Speaking of wallets, I met a guy who is working on an android wallet with integrated localbitcoins functionality. If that works, it could be like a decentralized exchange that potentially covers the world. It's still very early. In a few years, if things progress as they have, we won't need banks at all anymore.

This is great because so many fundamental analysts cannot always see whats going on in the real world. btw, what is the real world??

1st they don't understand this competition of currency, something that no stock, bond or other trade can even comprehend or has experienced they are confined to currency
second, the block chain tech can replace about 1/2 of the worlds entire banking system, buildings servers, it costs, employees etc, that alone gives it a value of 2Trillion plus.
Think of all the money banks spend on, buildings, IT, employees, land, servers etc etc, thats at least 1T a year
there just one point, bam easily 2T market cap.
