I think Bit Coin is a fad... it will be replaced. Canada's 'Mint Chip' is catching up quickly and it is a superior product/currency.

In what way is MintChip superior? As far as I can see, it is a system for cryptographically signing transactions denominated in existing real-world currencies (eg CAD or USD), i.e. it's not really a currency at all. Seems terribly inferior to me.

How is MintChip a replacement for bitcoin? It isn't as anonympous and it isn't decentralized. It seems like they go for two entirely different goals.
