Posts like this really annoy me. Do you not understand we will only have 21 million bitcoins ever?
That's the way the system works at present, but it could easily be modified to allow Bitcoins to be issued by a central reserve bank in return for dollars, as well as created by mining.
If we fix the value at 90 cents, then of course, we need the ability to supply as many Bitcoins as people wish to purchase.
I would be more than happy to issue imaginary Bitcoins in return for hard currency. It's the least I can do for the Bitcoin community. Would you like me to write some patches for the client?
I understand what your trying to do, but thats not how it works, and no one even wants it to work like that. The more "reasonable" thing to do is request that the creator of the program triple everyones amount of Bitcoins until the price is again around $1 vs. the dollar.
This would make it so that no one loses any value on their bitcoins, and like you suggested, would bring more people interested in using bitcoins, even though they still have the same damn value, but to others they may not comprehend why bitcoin is priced so high.. (which you don't seem to comprehend either but whatever)
Currency relates to the stock market and how things work, a lot of times when stocks become too high, they will do what I mentioned, double or tripple everyones stock or whatever to lower the price of each stock retaining everyones value.
Example:
$10 worth of shares = 1 stock
Give everyone double stocks and reduce price by 50%
Now everyone has 2 stocks worth $5 each
The same concept can be used with bitcoins.
This of course, would have to be agreed upon by the community, and I believe one day something like this may have to happen because I see many people turned off at the idea of having a future where we commonly trade 0.00000012 bitcoin at a time if more and more people choose to use this currency with the limit of 21 million.
