I originally liked the idea of using it as a currency a couple years ago. Bought some stuff off Overstock, and a handful of other online stores that accepted it. This is when it was 'relatively' stable. With this speculative runup, I don't see it ever being used as an alternate currency (its original intention) again.

I'm sure there is a bank, or multiple banks, who are designing their own "digital currency" that will be legit because they will back it financially. What I don't understanding is how is that any different than PayPal or a type of credit card? You pay with it, then you pay the bank for using it or use the funds from your digital currency account. It's the same game in my opinion.

Blockchain has nothing to do with bitcoin's hysterics.

It's only because speculators are involved now. The same thing as saying it's a bubble.

It certainly could be a normal kind of currency if there were something to stabilize it, but it's more like gold now; a thing that is not a necessity (not stabilized by actual need) but for which there is a high demand.
