When people want 'steady value', it still takes a market to make it and to assign the value. Gold has historically been the item that is valued universally.
If Bitcoin or any other currency (or rock, or piece of paper, or anything else) is meets the definition and needs of the users, it can be used as their 'money'. Isn't it Easter Island where big round rocks with square holes in them are 'money'? Not real transportable, but if folks will take it in trade, it is still a money. A money is an artificial human invention, just designed to reduce the burdens of the barter system. ><> ... Jack Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart...
