Google openly discusses bitcoin integration

I want this bitcoin shite to go away. I don't understand it at all. How can a new currency just appear out if nowhere.

Are you suggesting an infinite regress?

Intrinsic value does not exist. Value comes from individual preferences. If you want to know why people like bitcoin, look at the characteristics it has.

Google is considering using Bitcoins as a method of processing payments not as a currency. Google accepts payment using Visa cards. Are Visa cards currency? Somewhere in completing the sale Bitcoins will have to be converted to dollars. Who is going to pay those costs?

Just how much business can Google anticipate from Bitcoin users if the distribution of Bitcoins is as narrow as discussed in this article?
