Bitcoins become harder and harder to compute the more Bitcoins exist.
> [Fiat currencies and the gold standard]
Incidentally, WP's bitcoin article seems to indicate it is not a fiat
currency; that there is some fundamental (presumably mathematical)
basis whereby there is a fixed number of bitcoins that can ever exist.
My cryptography is not strong enough to tell if that's true, and my
economics is not strong enough to understand the implications if it
is, but I daresay it's more interesting and useful than talking about
the gold standard.
