Although there can be made an infinite number of Cryptocurrency variations. You have to understand that the MINERS have the power to make or break it. Not the market, not the pump-and-dump speculators/investors... no the Miners decide to which Network they point their hugely expensive mining...

You don't need leverage with these huge jumps up and down....and as I said: we are still on the left-side of the S-curve...only when we enter the right-side it will behave as a real currency (which will take some more years....so enjoy the ride...). (If you don't know what an S-curve means...

volatility is a traders dream...(not that good for a currency, but to be expected as we are still on the left-side of the S-curve). I personally hope it will fall a bit more, to buy even cheaper..but I guess Monday the big guys will not let that happen.

????????????? 85 billion a month...you find limited

USD can used for money laundry, therefore, it will be in the best interest of governments to destroy it. :) :)

You are wrong on 2 points. One you don't understand what a Ponzi is (see my previous posts). and two, if you call this a Ponzi then the largest all times is not Bitcoin but the USD: Just try to understand this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFDe5kUUyT0

In a few years you will understand your flaw :) (I stop now as we are talking in circles, and it's not worth my time)

The production of new coins, is halved every few years. Now we get 25 coins per 10 minutes, it was 50 before, and will be 12.5 in 2016, until 2140 new coins in free float will be less and less. That's for me a deflation-property (in contrary to what the FED and any other Central-bank does...

The one that survive will stabilize on much and much higher price than 1150 from today. -If it takes over, just 1% of Gold-market, it will be 7000 dollar -if it takes over, just 1% of the Creditcard-industry, it will be 1700 dollar -If it takes over, just 10% of the Remittance-market...

Sure, they are scarred as hell. And already feel the heat (just watch what their stock-price is doing latterly). They cannot stop this decentralized world-wide phenom. Only good thing would be to Join it (which I guess they will do). Where do you have your information from? You only have...

This bubble is more or less coded in the Protocol. To make it possible to make it mainstream and to adopt it by as many Miners as possible it has an build-in deflation property as incentive.

We all agree that there will be crashes and volatility, and many crypto-currencies will simply die. Still one or a few will survive, innovate and become mainstream.

They already do. and it's a good thing !

Let me give you an example what happened to me a few weeks ago. A good friend Skyped me from South Africa (he emigrated a few years back from the Netherlands), and at some point Bitcoin was discussed. I explained him some of the benefits, and then he asked me if he could use it for...

You constantly mix up two things. The word Bitcoin, is used for a Currency as well as a Protocol. It would have been much better if Satoshi named both things differently, but he hasn't....

Unbelievable ! (maybe "hypocritical" is a better word) Calling it a silly bubble, not understanding it's valuable features.... but STIL investing in hardware and energy/electricity to connect to the network and Mine?

You don't understand what an S-curve investment means. This virtual-currency adoption is an S-curve, and quite normal (and yes crashes, volatility, greed and fear and even dead, are all normal phenomenons inside the S-curve as well). If you are "open" to learn what an S-curve is, then please...

Than stop for a while using your Internet, cell-phone, and cable. If you don't miss it than indeed it hasn't any value for you.

I see it like this: there is one protocol (HTTP/HTML for internet compares to the Crypto-currencies-protocol), and on that there are many business models using that protocol (Google, Youtube, FaceBook, etc, compared to all the crypto-currencies, payment-processors, escrow-services...
