This is what I want to happen. I want to market to crash so I can join it. I want to use bitcoins in personal projects. I want to try it out shopping, see what can be made with it, play with the projects that have done something with it.
You can join the market with $1, or $10, or $20... nothing says you have to buy at least 1 BTC. If Bitcoin continues appreciating, it may be $1000 US per BTC next year. That won't stop people that only want to spend $5 from transacting in it; it's designed to be divisible. You can hold and spend a fraction of a bitcoin. We don't round transactions to the dollar even in USD.
yes, but if I was gonna do that, I might as well tap bitcoin faucet or take a cruddy graphics card I have laying around and join a mining pool for a week.
I want to try buying things. No one's selling for 0.6 µBTC
Yes they will, everyone selling actual goods in BTC sells at the USD equivalent, if you previously wanted to play with X dollars of whatever currency you use, you can still play with X dollars of whatever currency you use.

Just not for 150 bucks.
