Seriously, dude, as a business person, would you ever accept payment in the form of a commodity whose price could vary by 1, 5, 10, or even 50% in the space of a day? If the Euro changes 1% relative to the dollar in a week it's news. The whole thing is a neat intellectual exercise, but ultimately not much more than that. None of the numbers behind bitcoin suggest anything other than it's destined to be a colossal failure.
