You should never put money in freicoins either. Rather you should use it for buying and selling things, and just keep enough at hand for cash-flow purposes. What we want is a frictionless medium for digital payments, with good economic properties. Bitcoin doesn't offer that.

I appreciated the thoughts behind it, the relation between interest rates and incentives for investment is not something I thought about. It makes a lot more sense to me than bitcoins.
