DannyDeth: According to that logic bread is as much a currency as USD is.
oxytamine: It doesn't stand on anything. It isn't even a currency unless you're buying drugs, it's like a little token you're investing in, like gold. Just that gold is very real. While bitcoins are a virtual commodity. If you say that they can be sold for dollars, so can shares. You still can't buy things with shares, stocks, whatever.
