Prices are pegged to normal price IRL or cheaper anyway. Unless you're investing your bitcoins, the price doesn't really effect you.

Just spend quickly after you get them and it doesn't really matter. Also, they've been on the uptrend as of late though they could end up crashing or they could climb higher than ever and hold. No way to really know.

And by "normal price", s/he means the United States dollar, which itself may go up or down against the British pound. :)

Because we have our own currency, and the government at the time said no fucking way. lol

+1.  The trend has generally been upwards too, so on average your BTC wallet gains value between reception of BTC and purchase.  Let's hope BTC doesn't crash again... (but if it does I'll buy up shop LOL).

It's a little different, since the United States is not in a legal and economic union with Mexico in the same way that the UK is in the European Union, with a standardized currency.
