Well I have been trading in Bitcoin for a couple of months now and the fact is, it is a High Risk Commodity, fit only for Forex style trading. There is no way that this will ever make it as a usable currency. The trend in Currency is towards stability in Gold, who's only surge is due to instability. So then, what Bitcoin was supposed to address has been turned upon its own head - Bitcoin is now an even more frightening alternative than Fiat Currencies themselves.

Wait, you say Bitcoin failed because it is "not a currency", but rather a commodity like "forex trading"?
Last time I checked, forex trading *IS* currency trading...

1 Bitcoin will always be 1 Bitcoin. That's stable enough for me.

"Bitcoin has clearly failed" Not another one, well maybe, keep on continuing with these threads so that it shows Bitcoin is succeeding. As long as ppl want to keep on using bitcoin, bitcoin will never fail. Ha, take that, Haters.  |

I call trolling. *hides* But seriously, you don't give any reasoning that supports your conclusions - all you're saying is that we don't give an explaination into why Bitcoin will succeed, which we will provide. It is decentralized, easily transferrable, liquid, maintains value over time, etc. |

Well now, that's just simply not true. 2 years ago, I could've bought a pizza for 40,000 BTC. Today, it only costs me a couple. Please show a comparable comparison of dollar value that shows more volatility. |

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.

Doesn't matter :p let us all still prove the point of matter of the fact that bitcoin won't fail as long as users keep using it. |

bitcoin is not a currency, it is a token where people have an agreed upon understanding that 1btc = something.
