Makes sense. The thing is mature markets also rely on the currency value fluctuating within narrow ranges. Say, in the plain old currency central banks act (fiddling with interest rates, etc) to keep currency value "stable". Given Bitcoin's decentralized nature, markets will have a hard time trusting it (if ever).

I saw that. But the price is quoted in Euros, not in bitcoins. It is a subtle but relevant difference.

Can't use bitcoins to buy a conference ticket? I love the irony :)
