Why would I want to pay capital gains taxes on things I order online? There is also the obvious problem that spending your Bitcoin is foolish because it is deflationary. Remember the Bitcoin pizza?
Again, there are some institutional investors dabbling in this, but I would like to see evidence that this is more than a rounding error in terms of Bitcoin's total market cap.
