Of Bitcoin is priced in US$, be it $100k or $100m, then that's because the US$ is the reserve currency.
networks are about trade. "giving it" isn't a trade. you'd have to get something tangible in return.

That's for more than one person to decide. That's why it's called "market value".
I'm not a dreamer and I find speculating on other people's dreams too risky so for me the value is zero.
No, paying a high price is never a good thing, not in memorabilia either. If you can pick up a Picasso on a flea market for $100 it's still a Picasso and a steal and good for you. Too bad for the seller if they're unaware of the market value of their merchandise.
In the perverted world of Bitcoin, paying a high price is somehow a good thing.
> users of an ecash mint would be able to prove foul play like that
You literally said the only way to find out whether a token is redeemable is to redeem it.
Just remember to keep all the un-american bitcoins out of the network.
But € is fiat!!!
Sort of like monks in medieval times. Good luck getting access to those stashes of wisdom.
As for the exchange rate of Bitcoin vs. fiat, 0.1M or 1Mz why would I care of my business is Bitcoin in, Bitcoin out?
Like I said, I first worry about running a business at break-even savings comes later.
I know it's "possible". It's also possible for me to wear a car tire around my neck. But how do I benefit.
If my competitors start accepting Bitcoin to the point I'm losing business I'll hop onto the bandwagon. But don't forget a business competes on the products and services offered first and only payment convenience second.
What's a "treasury". A business' assets is stuff that it owns to make products and render services.
People are going to spend, but spend less.
Just running a business is a great way to verify one's ideas btw. Strangely everyone here has great theories and predictions about Bitcoin but none of these people actually run a business based on Bitcoin. Except for nostr:nprofile1qqs99d9qw67th0wr5xh05de4s9k0wjvnkxudkgptq8yg83vtulad30gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9thwden5te0dp5hxapwdehhxarj9ekxzmnyqyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehw6r9wfjjucm0d5eechmk who at least tried and faced with deflation started calling his customers "wet wipes" because they were willing to pay less and less.
Like most people here you're arguing from the point of the consumer. But lower prices across the bank will mean lower prices that workers can demand for their labor too. I.e falling wages.
As a business you need to have income to cover expenses like the investments that you made to get the business started in the first place.
