25 $ minimum

Why would 25$ be less subject to volatility than 50 cents? Actually with 25, if BTC values goes down the business owner losses increases.

Short answer: That’s what the hardcore deflation fans in the bitcoin community HOPE will happen. It’s been mentioned so repetitive, that some CNN journalists seem to think it could actually work. Which it most likely won’t. Or they blindly believed this thesis (that’s what it is), without questioning it.
