The bitcoin economy is bigger (a "market cap" of hundreds of millions of dollars instead of just a few million dollars). @p{brk} and @p{brk} 2. Bitcoin is mature enough for people to really trust it. @p{par} Unless there is somebody out there with very deep pockets and a willingness to spend a lot of money smoothing out the fluctuations there's not a whole lot we can do about it besides make bitcoin better, easier to use, more secure, etc. @p{brk}
