Title: Any evidence of a correlation of BTC to any other asset?
Post by: gabbynot on May 16, 2012, 07:31:45 PM
Just curious what everybody's thoughts were.

It seems to me that BTC is just so tiny it's hard to draw any parallels with anything else.  I mean, there's more traded in AAPL in 3 minutes than what the entire BTC economy is worth.

There are parallels to things like Google Trends, but of course, that's not another commodity or asset class.

You might find this thread interesting.
