Post by: kekky on January 02, 2014, 06:29:04 PM
Hi Everyone,

We at the Squawkonomics team have just concluded a video straight from the heart of Singapore's central business district to find out what people in Southeast Asia's booming business and financial hub think about Bitcoin. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S_XcJSlYAw

Also, check out the Squawkonomics site for our full analysis, including insights from financial professional respondents that declined to be on video.

Hope everyone has a great year going forward!

These people seemed to be brainwashed with fear.

Why would you have trust in a central bank controlled by people who fuck you everyday with a smile.

Disagree
Singapore has a big and active BTC community....I have been here 3 years and have seen it grow
The MAS (Monetary Authority Singapore) have taken a relatively benign stance.

Let me put it this way..... this is the country that have banned chewing gum throughout the entire country because it makes the pavement look messy.
The same country where spitting and jaywalking is a jail term....... trust me....... they are playing the waiting game and hedging bets.....

I have personally worked with the central bank. MAS and clearing houses..... unless you live/work/are an educated Singaporean, your response is purely speculative fear-mongering/bullshit
