And I'm happy to be someone about to jump fully on the Bitcoin train and never have to think about the price of Bitcoin.<p>As a U.S. citizen living abroad, Bitcoin is now at the intersection of cheapest, fast (but not instant) and most convenient for receiving my money. There are exchanges here which work automatically and have lots of options for me to receive my money. At this point, I can't say there is a better method available for me.<p>I'm getting the pathways setup (accounts mostly) and then all of my money transfers will be going through Bitcoin.<p>When people like me who don't care about the price, but get real utility out of Bitcoin (beyond just the gimmick of merchants accepting payments in Bitcoin which make up less than 1% of sales but much more than that in marketing publicity) then the prices will really start to take off. But, we still won't care about the prices then.<p>Edit: That said, Ripple or Stellar may be an even better option for moving money. Once Cryptocurrency becomes so widely used that Bitcoin is just another option, then Bitcoin could drop massively. But we still won't care about price. ;)<p>Edit2: I would NOT be holding Bitcoin. I would only be using it as a transfer medium.
