WOW gold is explicit property of Blizzard... you can't openly trade it if you're a ligit company. Goldman Sachs wouldn't touch that... But I guess there are people dumb enough to suggest bitcoin is the same as WOW gold. Title: Re: Wall Street to get into the Bitcoin business?

I wouldn't be surprised if hedge funds went into virtual currency trading eventually. But GS? no :) Title: Re: Wall Street to get into the Bitcoin business?

It could be anything from Warren Buffets own personal blog or that of Micky Mouse's. I always assume information is invalid until I have a chance to perform research on my own and you should too. Just an interesting thing that pinged on the Google Alerts for Bitcoin so I passed it on. Enjoy! Title: Re: Wall Street to get into the Bitcoin business?

cookie default swaps. "Hey - we saw a good financial opportunity for GS in the girl scout market. and we're thinking of making them change the name of their organization: we've trademarked the initials 'GS'" Title: Re: Wall Street to get into the Bitcoin business?

Title: Re: Wall Street to get into the Bitcoin business? Post by: cypherdoc on July 27, 2011, 07:54:25 PM having traded markets for years i wouldn't be surprised if this rumor turns out to be true.
if there's anything you learn about Wall St is that they'll make a market in anything if there's money to be made. i'm sure Bitcoins rise has caught their attention at the very least. i could see them setting up a derivatives desk based on trading Bitcoin. these are just side bets on an underlying commodity anyways. don't need to own the underlying reference asset.
