New to bit coin use. I have noticed over the past few months that the exchange rate has ballooned from 13 to now 22 $ a coin, this presents a problem, prices are almost never adjusted to account for the massive inflation; how is the rate set and are there ways of getting bit coins (I use spendbitcoins.com) are a fairer rate. I would also like to say that if inflation on the coins continues to rise it will put a lot of market places out of business.
