Yea ok Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks Post by: newIndia on December 17, 2014, 01:59:15 PM http://www.cnbc.com/id/102275772 Yea ok It was inevitable. Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: Q7 on December 17, 2014, 02:15:49 PM Sounds good but why does the price of bitcoin keeps on tanking? There must some selling pressure coming from somewhere. Another explanation i convince myself is i expect the drop in bitcoin price is a reflection of the strength or gain in us dollar like what is happening against all other currencies with bitcoin losing no exception.

Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: Elwar on December 17, 2014, 04:42:59 PM It's a cold war propaganda piece. Russia Times promotes Bitcoins outside of Russia, most likely in the hopes that it catches on and hurts the dollar/euro.
CNBC tries to get Russians to switch to Bitcoins most likely in the hopes that it hurts the ruble. Where is Yakov Smirnov when you need him? Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: countryfree on December 17, 2014, 05:14:20 PM They haven't bought enough! Sorry to point it out, but it looks like BTC is going down with the ruble.
Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: Pecunia non olet on December 17, 2014, 05:30:01 PM This is news of last weeks.
This week: bitcoiners move into ruble as bitcoin tanks. Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: beetcoin on December 17, 2014, 05:55:25 PM i was looking for the thread on this. most people knew it would eventually happen with the falling price of the ruble. gold traders must be living well.
it doesn't seem to be affecting btc price though. Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: YinShuiSiYuan on December 18, 2014, 12:17:02 AM It's a cold war propaganda piece. Russia Times promotes Bitcoins outside of Russia, most likely in the hopes that it catches on and hurts the dollar/euro. The people of Russia need bitcoin to catch on in their country much more then the Russian government needs the Dollar to "fail" CNBC tries to get Russians to switch to Bitcoins most likely in the hopes that it hurts the ruble. Where is Yakov Smirnov when you need him? The Ruble has fallen by ~50% this year while the dollar has held steady, plus even if bitcoin is successful over the long term it will probably only have marginal effects on the dollar Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: DonQuijote on December 18, 2014, 12:31:18 AM BTC? why they choose btc? Its the worst investment of 2014
$ or € are more stable Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: noobtrader on December 18, 2014, 02:32:59 AM BTC? why they choose btc? Its the worst investment of 2014 $ or € are more stable because btc is easier to buy and send abroad than $ ??? i think you have to fill a form or something if you want to buy large amount of $ Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: panju1 on December 19, 2014, 03:01:24 AM BTC? why they choose btc? Its the worst investment of 2014 $ or € are more stable When you buy large quantities of $ or €, you have to store them in bank accounts (You can't stuff them under your pillow!!) This is always dangerous when the country is in a crisis and can seize assets. With Bitcoin, you are your bank. Much safer in such a situation.

I don't think buying a plasma TV is a very good store of value. That's just ridiculous. There are better things, like silver. That's already gone down so far, it's just teasing for a reversal.

Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: bitcoinmining on December 27, 2014, 08:14:01 PM It's certain that Bitcoin's future seems brighter than Ruble right now; but don't forget Ruble has a government power, also we need some governments support to fly to the moooon! :)
Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: wadili89 on December 27, 2014, 08:54:54 PM Clearly the value from Rouble is not moving into Bitcoin, otherwise we would have seen a rise in prices. I think right now they are banking more on Gold or USD.
Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: Sakarias-Corporation on December 27, 2014, 09:48:29 PM now, if Russia would be going into BTC as a country. then i would be rich rich RICH!

Russians arent moving to bitcoin if they were, we would have seen a large rise in the value Title: Re: Russians move into bitcoin as ruble tanks (CNBC) Post by: Rub3n on December 28, 2014, 01:22:11 AM I think the mass has no clue about it and some might actually put some of their savings and turn it into BTC. Its actually pretty smart to do, but i'd rather invest in oil ATM.

Russians arent moving to bitcoin if they were, we would have seen a large rise in the value I was hoping there would be a big rise like that happened when banks were taking the money in Cyprus. The Russians for some reason are looking elsewhere. It may be due to all the negative news Bitcoin has with being labelled the worst investment of 2014. |
