It's being used as a speculative investment vehicle, not a currency. Banks could actually manage the supply so that you don't have that kind of volatility and the crypto-currency becomes stable.
I hate to point out the obvious here, but the huge price increase in bitcoin is evidence that it fails as a currency. If bitcoin were a real currency, running an entire economy, that economy would be in hyperdeflation right now.
Fiat currencies of any form require rather sophisticated management to keep them stable. If you want a stable but unmanaged money supply, you need something that has intrinsic value (like precious metals).
You're a dumbass if that is what you believe. You obviously don't understand how bitcoin functions.
1. There will only ever be a certain number of bitcoins in existence.
2. It is decentralized.
3. You don't have to hold it to use it. You can simply buy as much or as little as you need to complete a transaction.
I don't have time to hand hold you or anyone else through this. Do you own real research. Oh and full disclosure I don't own any Bitcoin currently. I sold what I had off at this level. I may buy some again if it dips down to the $4,000.00, which I think it will within the next 4 months.
