Any accepted currency will have to require centralized regulation for wide acceptance to happen. This was doomed from the start; although in theory the idea is idealistic.
It shows the free market can’t be the creator of both goods and currency.
All hyper bubbles have to crash go back to the Tulip mania and read up on it, very similar.
Remember housing prices before the wipe out last time?
The "real" market works off of the greater fool theory and bitcoin ran out of idiots to buy.
I remember my friend in BC Canada seeing all these Crazy Rich Asian Idiots buying them from an ATM with ridiculous fees and charges added on. That was about 4 months before the crash. We were having a good laugh on that one. He made money selling power/processing for bitcoin but bought his coins shortly after they came out so he isn't out much.

Economically illiterate comment. The "Tulip Bubble/Bust" occurred nearly 400 years ago in an era of very low information, cold weather and on another continent.

Why?
Why do you think an artificial currency with no state backing that fluctuates based off of usage is a viable currency that venders would use in mass?
I just told you what my research leads to. Let's see who's right in a few years.
The only thing I'll say is that it is definately not a scam, because it works. Anyone comparing it to monopoly money or the Zimbabwe dollar is a real moron.

It's not a monopoly money, and that is why it won't work.
Currency can no operate via the free markets being as the free markets were a state invention.
Bitcoin, another scam by some smart guy to take real dollars away from someone not so smart, sort of like being salaried.
