Title: [2015-01-15]CA-Paul Koster: "Central Bankers Should Prohibit Bitcoin Immediately Post by: jdebunt on January 15, 2015, 01:30:06 PM http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/paul-koster-central-bankers-should-prohibit-bitcoin-immediately
If it was up to certain people in The Netherlands, central banks worldwide (and especially in the European Union) should disallow any Bitcoin-related transactions immediately. While it is not the first time we hear such a statement, given the recent Bitcoin price decline, it seems to be a well-timed message to warn people once again about this digital currency.

V.I.P ;D Title: Re: [2015-01-15]CA-Paul Koster: "Central Bankers Should Prohibit Bitcoin Immediately Post by: FeedbackLoop on January 15, 2015, 05:14:22 PM "The person responsible for this statement is Paul Koster, director of the Vereniging van Effectenbezitters (Association of Stockholders) in The Netherlands." So this guy is one of the epicly-climbing-up rich that are benefitting since 2008 from the brutal Worldwide central-bank QE party. Incidentally european stocks are having a great day today with the actions from the SNB, that also hints at an upcoming and massive money-for-my-buddy-banksters program from the ECB. Curiously enough European stocks are up by roughly the same percentage that the EUR is down versus the USD. Gold up by a higher percentage.

Ban oil? Good luck banning either Paul, you'll need it.Fuck it, lets ban every under-performing stocks! And/or introduce compulsory insurance. You can let people lose their money due to their own poor decisions. This madness has to stop! Quote Mr. Koster concluded his statement by adding the following : “These volatile Bitcoin price swings prove that this market is not supervised and/or regulated by any government or institution. As a result, it is impossible for banks, consumers, investors and retailers to estimate the potential risks of getting involved with Bitcoin.” Then don't get involved mr Koster, just don't... BTW: Quote While it is clear that Paul Koster wants absolutely nothing to do with Bitcoin, most central bankers have not yet taken a stance towards cryptocurrency. In fact, there are a few pro-Bitcoin banks to be found in the European Union. Fidor Bank ,for example, only deals with Bitcoin-related customers and companies. Anyone uses Fidor bank? Do you need to be German resident to open account with them?
