The logic just flows from one to the other does it? So because Islam is the biggest religious ecosystem in the world now you and me are just burning to take part? By your logic, most people in Asia would horde (or want to pay using) Chinese Yuan, only they don't. The Yuan and the Yen are the dominant currencies of large transaction settlement in the region, but try to use it on the street and you're met with puzzled bemusement, Mike Hearn. Bitcoin is not suitable as a currency for pervasive dominance, and ideals of pushing it into every heart and mind around the globe is no different from religious zealotry. Bitcoin has its place and we're only at the beginning of a gradual evolution. How can I say that? Because I'm looking across the rice paddy to where my neighbors have not adopted the innovation of the lightbulb, and burn candles for light and cook with gas. And they're not an anomaly around here or in Asia, Africa and South America. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVu5QvAAoJEGwAhlQc8H1m1DQH/i54c+ZBnk9tZK+0PfC2G0rT taLpqvmXGOHPaSqkfHOLjLOm9LxGAw3TZpFIkFSuSuiSlwDfii2VIlKsbYSCEbBe twCaZuNqam4r+61755ADrvPziPx3Tr2GXN7Zc635prN9uGoGCu58xxc7Iy8sTsrf vB430ZN5RhagpFG5LCqN4QmDGQlK+ceYh53jLQ5HpNP/8UsOJjGXdnZfb4V24EFW 0NPAWdmWVFVpEPxqbsmAGjzOPVdocSQuRTekOQHJ7e5XNmHaD3YGHI+hwBDKzcD+ tUuFh7v4C684172PwandfJGAtUJMeavdh+IA21fze3+trrcTOVOZMHr+HEfmWGs= =AToN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
