HarChris, I’m not worried about people trying it, then dumping it, because there is a definite need for it. Take El Salvador, for example. They get $5Bn per year in overseas remittances. The majority of that will come via Western Union, which isn’t cheap and requires the recipient to go to a WU outlet in person. As of September 7th, all 4.5m adults who download the government’s btc app will be given $30worth of btc. The first batch of 1,500 btc atms is on its way there, so recipients have the luxury of getting the remittances quickly, reliably and cheaply. They can use their wallet like a deposit account and spend / convert to cash at their leisure. The government will benefit from the money saved on fees going in to the economy instead.

Im not bothered about Saylor or whales either. Yes, it was stupid of lemming to jump on the bandwagon, then jump of a cliff because of EM’s tweets, but the bigger it gets, the better btc will react to any fud dished out. That fud will disappear very soon though, with financial institutions about to make shedloads of cash by selling it to hnwi.
So, I agree that things are changing fast.
