ok, thats not as fatal for you guys

i still think you're gonna have trouble getting it mainstream if the buy-in price is too high

i dont think the consumer confidence is there yet

You're leaving out the most important part......Amazon doesn't accept bitcoins. That little detail invalidates your whole argument about the divisibility of bitcoins.

You cannot make these assumptions.

I have read a lot of your posts on this topic Wiki and I will continue to absorb as much as possible on the topic. I find it intriguing and a possible wave of the future. I do not have enough knowledge of the subject right now to give a perspective that I believe to be valid or valuable yet to a broader audience. I am all about challenging the status quo and innovating and bitcoins seems like a possible option.
