Initially it can be used in proof-of-work applications +for services that could almost be free but not quite. + +It can already be used for pay-to-send e-mail. The send dialog is +resizeable and you can enter as long of a message as you like. +It's sent directly when it connects. The recipient doubleclicks +on the transaction to see the full message. If someone famous is +getting more e-mail than they can read, but would still like to +have a way for fans to contact them, they could set up Bitcoin and +give out the IP address on their website. "Send X bitcoins to my +priority hotline at this IP and I'll read the message personally." + +Subscription sites that need some extra proof-of-work for their +free trial so it doesn't cannibalize subscriptions could charge +bitcoins for the trial. + +It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If +enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling +prophecy. Once it gets bootstrapped, there are so many +applications if you could effortlessly pay a few cents to a +website as easily as dropping coins in a vending machine. + +Satoshi Nakamoto +http://www.bitcoin.org +```
