would give those stubborn critics something to think about  ;)

I think the nypost has proved its lack of credibility in the past  ???

Yeah...

According to the article the Winklevoss ETF is the world's first ever Bitcoin exchange traded fund and is listed on the Nasdaq. Really?

One has to wonder what else in that article is wrong >:(

Is there actually any new information here or are they just summarizing what occured in March-April and what the author hopes for?

The article is speculating whether Nasdaq will be an actual exchange for bitcoins. But it also states that Nasdaq is already trading the Winklevoss ETF's, so....

What is the purpose of articles where 'the author speculates something could occur based on news from 2 months ago"?  I already have the information and I can do my own speculation. I don't need to speculate based on other people's speculations and create a double speculation loop.

I think it's called a tabloid.

Well the fact that the article says that the regulations should be out in early July is news to me.

We knew it was slightly delayed from end of June, but if thats true its great news.

There is no source for the early July target being 'news' - This is simply based on what Lawsky said in March. Since then, there has been no public information about advancements with the regulations at all.

And they should be making public updates why?

I didn't say that they should.

If you won't say it I will.  NY Dept of Financial Svces should issue updates.
Can you pronounce the word "democracy"?

That's a different topic. My point is that the reporter is representing information as if it is new when it is not new and there is no evidence of it being new.

You don't know that there isn't evidence. He sighted 4 sources.

This could increase the price 10 folds if they pull it off.

4 old sources. Nothing new.

Really? What were the soures?

And you, the girl who was quoting an article from FEBRUARY about a group that wanted to buy the SR coins for 15% below spot.

FUCK! So do I!

Should Nasdaq officials decide to go forward, they likely will move quickly — exchange officials expect to create a regulated platform for bitcoin buyers and sellers in about a year, one source said.

I've read through the article a few times and I can't find anything where someone representing Nasdaq actually said a single thing to imply that it is actually considering listing Bitcoin on NASDAQ. All I see is the following:



It's almost the same thing with the Winklevoss ETF - There is no evidence that that's even going to make it on NASDAQ either.  Winklevoss submitted an application and it hasn't been rejected yet so now they say "NASDAQ is considering Bitcoin".

I could send Google an email asking if I could be CEO, and now I can say "Google is considering me to be the CEO".

You would think major news outlets would fact check. Maybe they just assume that people don't know any better?

The NY Post is not a major news outlet.  It was 50 years ago.

So, is it news or just rumor?
