It's the Wild West, which admittedly does look pretty fun at times. Interesting at the least. But I can't believe anyone really thinks that any day now, normal people are going to start using this currency.


At what point would people start using Bitcoin as currency? When it hits 5k, 10k, 100k, 1m?


I mean, you already can. I have purchased things from Newegg and Steam, used it with Expedia to book hotels and flights...

You can treat Bitcoin the same way you treat USD, there are a lot of places that accept BTC directly. Phone apps make transactions easy.
