4. Before making decisions on monetary policy FED considers general economic conditions in the country, alternatives of monetary policy, forecasts of the economy ( FOMC 200 Phd economists conduct economic researchs on economic conditions, alternatives of monetary policy etc.). All of these are done in order to make money supply proportional to the total output of the economy. And, this is directly job of economists who studies the BEHAVIOUR humanbeings on decision making. So, how mathematical formulas could predict the behaviour of humans??? Moreover, if there is no any institution controlling the supply of bitcoin, and if it is produced at predermined rate every 10 minutes. How the total supply of bitcoin can be proportional to the total output in the economy???

12. Hi,
    My name is Ryan and I am 12 years old. I am trying to learn everything i can about Bitcoin. I have read a lot of articles about Bitcoin and listened to some podcasts about bitcoin. The problem is my parents believing that bitcoin is going to destroy america and its a waste of money to get involved in it. I dont think that way but i cant exchange U.S dollars for bitcoin my self because i cant use their creditcards. If anyone could be generous any fraction of a bitcoin would be awesome just so i can learn more! I have a wallet but no money :( my address is 13N5fwNkm1bhe1GddmGrjJtARq52Jrm6jc please help, i want to show my parents this Bitcoin is the future!
