you are comparing the value of the Mona Lisa with Bitcoins

The value of the Mona Lisa is based on its exculsivity, wich BitCoin not has.
The stuff you buy at the craft store are payed by dollars, they are ( should be ) backed by gold and government ( Bitcoin is backed by nothing )

You guys dont understand the basic of Economics. Sure you can make money with Bitcoins but so you can in the casino ( they are backed by dollars )
