In reply to David Mooney.

What are you talking about? I can't use Yen in the United States can I? Bitcoin requires the same conversion as any other currency when using it in any other country besides the country that currency originates and so the one advantage at the moment is that, because governments force it, people still are required to use Dollars or Yen or w/e in that country. So your argument just makes no sense at all especially since Bitcoin can be used at certain companies with no conversion at all and no fees unlike dollars and Yen. There are plenty of companies that accept bitcoin and I suggest you do a little more research before supplying a piss poor argument, Bitcoin is a currency, that is fact and if you are going to argue the opposite you have to provide evidence which you have none, some employees for certain companies are paid in Bitcoin, look it up, do some research on the topic. The currency has been used for how long? 5-6 years? And already in terms of American Dollars there are: 7,983,793,771 USD in circulation worth of bitcoin. Tell me how it isn't successful or working again? Its not a currency but people are just using it, can we come up with a new name that doesn't hurt your feelings? Because by the very definition of being used as medium of exchange it seems to be fully functional and growing every day.
