Title: There is hope: Euro Quantitative Easing Post by: painlord2k on April 07, 2014, 09:07:22 AM When you think there are no good news for Bitcoin or all price signals are negative, then a ray of Sunlight come to shine:
http://intermarketandmore.finanza.com/draghi-prepara-il-bazooka-ecco-il-progetto-eqe-euro-quantitative-easing-62298.html For not italian or german speaking people: Mario Draghi, ECB Chairman (equivalent to the Federal reserve Chairman for the Euro zone) is preparing his 1000 billions € QE (80 billions €/month). Bigger than Bernanke's QE3. They are just playing bad cop/good cop exchanging the parts as they feel expedient. Thias will bode well, very well, for Bitcoin (and other assorted cryptocurrencies), gold, silver. Title: Re: There is hope: Euro Quantitative Easing Post by: Carlton Banks on April 07, 2014, 09:20:45 AM Will also get the "currency wars" fully into action. Japan, US and China will eventually be forced to increase their own supply inflation to offset ECB printing.

Title: Re: There is hope: Euro Quantitative Easing Post by: thaaanos on April 07, 2014, 12:38:37 PM too late if you ask me... The trust in the Eurozone is already broken, and Nazi parties rise across Europe.
Title: Re: There is hope: Euro Quantitative Easing Post by: painlord2k on April 07, 2014, 05:47:23 PM too late if you ask me... The trust in the Eurozone is already broken, and Nazi parties rise across Europe. They rise as opposed to what? International Socialist in the government and bureaucracies and national socialists in the street. It is not too late to cause hyperinflation and allow the national socialists to get the government and allow the bureaucrats change shirt from red/pink to black/brown. Practically, Bernanke and Jellen are reducing the QE and the ECB is taking the slack. Jellen reduce the QE to 60 billions/month and Draghi put out 80 billions €/month QE (equivalent to 105 billions US$/month) Call it tapering, if you want.

If bitcoin has 8 decimal places why shouldn't a 1.000.000 $ bill circulate?

To the OP, if Bitcoin relies on poor performance of other currencies, its in a poor state. Title: Re: There is hope: Euro Quantitative Easing Post by: aminorex on April 07, 2014, 11:14:23 PM To the OP, if Bitcoin relies on poor performance of other currencies, its in a poor state. However, that fact that BTC is a hedge against over-exposure to national fiat does not in any way reflect negatively upon BTC.

Title: Re: There is hope: Euro Quantitative Easing Post by: AnonyMint on April 09, 2014, 12:18:07 PM The ECB is prevented from buying sovereign debt, and the German central bank isn't going to allow them to violate that law.
This is maybe about buying corporate debt (bonds). But the corporations have no incentive to invest this money in Europe because no return is possible there, so the money will very likely end up in the dollar and NYSE. Strong resurgent dollar means gold down and probably no net benefit to Bitcoin (although I do expect Bitcoin to rise again eventually just not as fast and "to the moon" as prior expectations). I explained those assumptions in the following posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=557732.msg6102899#msg6102899 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=365141.msg6108434#msg6108434 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=557732.msg6118983#msg6118983 Title: Re: There is hope: Euro Quantitative Easing Post by: thaaanos on April 09, 2014, 01:05:57 PM The ECB is prevented from buying sovereign debt, and the German central bank isn't going to allow them to violate that law. It's about re-capitalizing the German Banks.

They still have huge hidden 2008 holes in their subsidiary smaller bank budgets.Unless the capital moves through the economy as money (i.e. money velocity V in the M x V ≈ GDP), then it is still deflationary. Won't this just sit on balance sheets or head over to the USA to speculate on the dollar and NYSE. |
