This is too awesome an article not to get its own thread. Critics of bitcoin as a currency are quick to point out that not many merchants accept it as a payment type yet. That will change. And, they also point out that the total available market is severely limited. Oh, how wrong! Bitcoin’s first potential mega-market just so happens to be the second largest economy in the world and its sole competitor in that sphere is depreciating government paper cash. Game on.  Take a bow Jon Matonis.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

Take a bow Jon Matonis. Unless you mean that sarcastically you should probably use a different picture. Citizen Kane there is clapping for his talentless girl friend. I hope our support for bitcoin is of a different nature.  Back to the subject, that is a good article. |

Based on the Crunchbase profile, I'd say there is about a 98% chance he reads these forum threads. So . . .
Hi Jon !!

Given that he posts here quite often I would say that is a good bet. matonis |
