I have become a believer in BitCoins now, and the way I see it, the dramatic price ride was due to BitCoin's growing pains. The ability to pay anyone or receive payments instantly from anyone in the world, without a middle man like PayPal, is definately the payment technology of the future. BitCoin has its flaws, no doubt, but anyone who is in the business of receiving or sending payments online should difinately get behind it. Right now, unfortunately, people are using BitCoin like Forex, and this, I feel, is a bit of a shame because the technology has so much more potential behind it.
