Please someone explain her the leverage concept, nice article anyway. :) She is correct. Your English grammar is wrong, however. The position is auto-liquidated when it reaches the Zhoutonging price. However, if there is insufficient liquidity to perform liquidation at the Zhoutonging price, then the liquidation price will need to go beyond this boundary. Now, when liquidation occurs, the speculator will be left with a negative balance in their account. They will owe Zhoutong money and will have lost more money than their initial investment. This is impossible without leverage. Title: Re: Reuters: Our girl, Naomi O'Leary, did it.

Naomi is completely correct that the opportunity to leverage investments on Bitcoinica makes it possible to lose more than your initial investment. When you borrow to buy assets, this is called leverage. If you take a short position you have leverage. You are borrowing the currency you are shorting and the value of your debt can grow to exceed the value of your holdings. This is when forced liquidation occurs. If you take a long position. You don't need to have leverage. You can buy the currency you are investing in. If you do this, you take on no debt and there is no way for forced liquidation to occur. Leverage is necessary for forced liquidation to occur. To end up with a negative balance, you need to take on leverage. If you are heavily leveraged up, then, fixing your initial investment and the degree of illiquidity when forced liquidation occurs, the size of your negative balance will be proportional to your leverage, i.e. if you leverage up 10:1 you will end up with a negative balance ten times as large.

You don't need to have leverage. You can buy the currency you are investing in (or loan this currency to the market maker), you can take on no debt and then there is no way for forced liquidation to occur. Of course you can take on leverage if you want to and then it is possible for forced liquidation to occur. Leverage is necessary for you to end up with a negative balance because of illiquidity. If you are heavily leveraged up, then, fixing your initial investment and the degree of illiquidity when forced liquidation occurs, the size of your negative balance will be proportional to your leverage, i.e. if you leverage up 10:1 you will end up with a negative balance ten times as large. Naomi is completely correct that the opportunity to leverage your investment on Bitcoinica makes it possible to lose more than your initial investment. This is impossible with Mt.Gox, for example, where you are only allowed to buy and sell and not to borrow. I think you are still mistaken on what is the cause of going negative on bitcoinica. is not the leverage, it's the illiquidity when your position is forcible closed. but that is a bitcoinica issue, not a leverage issue. e.g. you can never ever go negative in a forex broker, even with a 400:1 leverage. Title: Re: Reuters: Our girl, Naomi O'Leary, did it. Post by: bitcool on April 02, 2012, 03:53:12 AM Quote Workers at Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs in London and New York have been visiting online Bitcoin exchanges as often as 30 times a day, according to documents seen by Reuters. How did they find out? monitoring employee's Internet traffic? Maybe they happened to see Zhongtong adviser's traffic log ;D I won't be surprised if some one says: workers at CIA visited bitcoin exchanges 30 times a day, or FBI, or IMF, or World Bank, or the Fed.... the number of employees and contractor working for these agencies is huge.

Thanks, and i've managed to see the whole thing :) Title: Re: Reuters: Our girl, Naomi O'Leary, did it.

I thought Satoshi was last heard from in October, Nov, or Dec of 2010? Has it been over 2 years since he disappeared? Actually on April 26th 2011, Satoshi sent Gavin Andresen the Bitcoin "alert" key, used to control certain aspects of Bitcoin clients. That was the last known contact.
