The Dollar has been Untrustworthy for a while now, I have been converting dollars to Bitcoin for 4 years, what you should do if you like charting, is examine the distribution of Bitcoin. vs Value also Examine the Arbitrage between US and Foreign markets, The other thing you may have to do is chart events, and that's something I'm interested in you examining in other charts, How do Particular events that change the direction of a chart based on good and bad news. (recently things have been turning around on their head when good news makes a stock drop and bad news completely sends it into space, it just doesn't seem logical )

When people talk about bitcoin compared to US dollars , what you should also examine is how often do you hold physical cash instead of a electronic wallet (aka a magnet strip card ) ; There is zero difference between your cell phone having a Bitcoin or other coins wallet, and holding a Debit Card, Also there is an option for having a paper wallet denominated in a particular value . as long as you have a recent copy of the block chain you could validate the value of that paper wallet, you could then accept that as par value. ( you wouldn't have to be online per say ) . As you say its based upon full faith and trust of monetary value. as many Americans that full faith and trust is in god . " Its written all over ". but can you trust the central banks, most people are starting to at least turnaround and start to question the supreme almightiness of the fed and other central banks as nothing more that a ruse.

The one thing you must remember is that unlike many companies that trade on such markets like the NYSE etc, that bitcoin has a constant news cycle, that reports something new every 15 mins , which company has that? Not even Apple has company news every 15 minutes of every day 24 hours around the clock, with multiple dedicated news streams about the stock.

Anyway thanks for the posts and videos, there's always something to learn.
