ok, so everyone has to pat their head and rub their belly and detect counterfeit tokens.. doesnt change anything
but thats not the point of it. I'll take the probability that Stanford's work is advancing protein knowledge over the probability that Bitcoin's work is advancing economics knowledge any day of the week.
thanks for answering the question
If the point of a BTC is to produce it so you can sell it for USD then it has NO purpose unless it creates value.
its more like the act of patting your head and rubbing your belly does the detecting if that makes any sense
i was commenting on the quote but ether way
the point is that its to be used as online cash the same way you use real cash
there are lots of things you can do with it for one i just used some to buy some games on Steam
some one has to be able to cash it out at some point to buy the goods they are selling there for its going to worth some thing in some nation back currency
and im thinking of setting up online hobby shop that will take Bitcoin
at first ill just works as middle man between the local shop here and people on the net
ie they tell me what they want i quote i price they send me the bitcoin i then cash it out to pay the local shop and then i ship the goods
i charge what ever the goods cost + few %
