And the Euro. But yes, I think so. My only concern is that if it becomes a 1 trillion $ worth of economy, you'll be talking in very small decimals of Bitcoin. Everything will cost like 0.000000x Bitcoins. I think this will be a very poor UX for most people. Unless they give the smallest decimal another name (Bits, coins, nanocoins, whatever), and then everyone deals in nanocoins, rather than Bitcoins.

I wish the designer of Bitcoin would've thought about this before creating it. Maybe he just didn't think Bitcoin will become that popular, and become orders of magnitude more valuable than a dollar in a more distant future.
