Priceing things in BTC

[jubalix]

How many of you work things out in BTC, eg, when you look at say the cost of something you think hm....0.2 BTC.

Despite the USD volatility vs BTC, I find more and more I think in BTC price and like many usually roughly know the spot price.

I haven't quite got into mBits yet but I will when it get back to 1K +

I think of it in both. I think you have to really.

I think its hard to price things in BTC when the exchange rate changes so much, especially as its tied to a fiat exchange rate and the product is priced in that currency. Therefore the BTC price is constantly changing and the fiat price is not.

If the price is 0.2 BTC i would think like that:  If 0.1 BTC is $43, 0.2 is $86 but I always convert bitcoins into dollars to understand the price when ever It's cheap or expensive.

Same here, probably because 99% of stuff I see and use are still priced in USD.

Will BTC ever break free from the conversion to fiat values?
Some people think this is a high priority, but for now it's hard to do in the "real world".

I don't think it will but I also don't think it's really necessary.  Gold as an example, is still expressed in terms of value by it's conversion to fiat yet still serves its purpose.

I admit I do that on occasion.  Not as much as I'd like however because I don't have a ton of BTC haha.

When you live in other countries you start out converting prices into USD, but after a while, you just start thinking in the local currency at least for small purchases.

I imagine at some time we will start thinking in terms of BTC once local businesses start accepting it.
