Title: Wall Street Journal BTC Article (1st March 2015)
Post by: SimplisticStu on March 03, 2015, 09:55:05 AM
Make of this article what you will, IMO it's pretty neutral giving views from both sides of the fence.

Do we think the US Marshals have asked for this ahead of the imminent BTC auction for a little bump maybe?

Either way, it's BTC being talked about on Wall Street again  :D

"Bitcoin provides an alternative way to transact for countries experiencing economic or political stress."

Which African country will go first?

First give internet & education to Africa, then talk about BTC.

Does the Nigerian prince back Bitcoin? He keeps sending everybody emails talking about all these riches but can he deliver?

if this thing attracts more fiat to bitcoin and increase liquid trading, the most important result will be solving bitcoin’s volatile price problem, and as a result of that it will attract more attention and acceptance.

Yes mate...BTC is a very interesting topic.. n still a bit shady one to the masses.. SO everyone must be interested to know a bit more about BTC before getting into it.

There was already a thread about this if you would have looked before posting you would have seen you are creating a identical thread  ???

Good question did marshals ask for it, who knows except them?

Either way wall street and bitcoin is not good for the unsavvy investors in bitcoin it will be one hell of a show though  8)

Maybe that Nigerian prince is Satoshi. Now everything get clear to me. You must not send him your bankaccount but you're wallet-address.
