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.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

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 |
