2013年5月26日消息，如果你用过比特币（Bitcoin），你肯定遇到过“谁会接受比特币”这样的问题。是的，这是典型的“鸡跟蛋”悖论，但是这并不出人意料，因为它是世界上第一种没有中央权威控制的分散化加密货币。
商业货币和类商业货币（quasi-commodity money）必须通过自由市场的严格要求才能获得合法性和被大家所接受，它们与通过国家法令强制推行的政治货币是不同的。在没有国家法令强制推行或合法货币身份时，具有很多优越的特点的货币将在竞争性的市场中流行开来。
Commercial and commercial currencies (quasi-commodity money) must acquire legitimacy and acceptance through the strict requirements of the free market, unlike the political currencies imposed by national decrees. In the absence of national laws to enforce or legitimate monetary identity, currencies with many advantages will prevail in competitive markets.
