I really wish one of those things takes off. Bitcoin either needs large amounts of wealth being parked in it (savings, long term holdings) or large sums of money being transacted with the help of it. If there are large amounts of oil being traded with the help of bitcoin, the demand for it, be it only as a trading instrument, rises significantly.
It has great potential for any commodity that ships over seas. Fees for cross border payments are very high. A stable low cost alternative is a good thing.
Well, that being said, Bitcoin isn't especially stable as of now. Granted, we're currently on a sideways trend again, but even under these rather
stable' circumstances, we face fluctuations of about 1% daily. Also, the volume first needs to grow further.
