For all of his pomposity, Max Kaiser is actually getting people to acquire and spend bitcoin in the community. And as more of that happens, more things will be made by bitcoin to be sold for bitcoin.
The problem with bitcoin has been that people want to hodl it for when it goes way up in the future. That same sentiment keeps it from becoming an actual currency. It has to be used. Fortunately, i think at about $100k people will start spending.
If we were all smart monkeys, we would have given up The US$ and switched to bitcoin already. But we aren't that smart. We are rather timid, and trepid. The soon we get off a currency that is printed ad-infinitum, the better we will be. But we don't. We are used to the $.
My plan is that things need to be made, built, created, for sale for bitcoin. Things that are useful.
Algora socks did this, and they probably have more bitcoin than BlackRock.
But, really, starting this side economy is hard.
(feel free to replace "bitcoin" with any other coin, even Doge)
