German Fidor Bank is already using the protocol. Ok, a bank is using ripple, but then again Fidor has only 39 employees and a market cap smaller than that of Litecoin. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) you gotta start somewhere.

or, mtgoxes.. it will not end soon, 800k btc..
Well if we have a 1 billion to one perfect storm scenario, and bitcoin drops as low as 10 cents, then you can put some couch change down at a million to one that Karpeles will man up and pay the lost gox BTC back ... i think you just outed his grand plan. karpeles would be free man, a hero! paid all back! haha. he'd be prolly be saying 'F U all, bitches!'

I predict that Bitcoin will be worth $500 by June and we'll all be laughing at this thread.
circa 2013. guess what the experts were predicting for BTC for 2014? LOL

So somebody is buying XBT OTC to keep the price down then selling on exchanges to push it further down, very smart.
the bitstamp hacker is prolly selling them for cheap OTC....? or, mtgoxes.. it will not end soon, 800k btc.. forgot about that... yup that's more likely as the dust already settled on that issue.

Such people should be permanently banned.
Why? because some people invested a lot of their hard earned money in BTC. and watching your money go down in value sucks. this thread is not helping. again: banned? wasnt this crypto for all people, am i mistaken about that? oh... yes. i didn't say i agree to the ban. i was just trying to emphasize with the person who said it. watching your investment losing value fast sucks bro.

actually, speculators are holding fiat waiting to pounce back again. and who do you think was responsible for bitcoin to rise even above 10 bucks? ... or a buck even.

considering all the volatility in crypto and btc's downtrend, i think what bitshares and nubits are trying to do is a step in the right direction. i'm not saying their implementation is the answer. but i sure would love to see more implementations, and see what other projects can come up with as far as bit.FIAT is concerned.

how many STR have the facebook giveaway been giving lately? just wondering...
Zero. Because even if you invite 'Mark Zuckerberg' and he tries to link his facebook, they're still gonna say that his account is fake and deny any stellar. lol wat?

until bitcoin stops being at the center of crypto, it will always have value. if exchanges replace altcoin/BTC pairs with altcoin/bit.FIAT pairs then we got a problem.
we keep looking for the next big thing in crypto 2.0, but bit.FIAT projects could be the next big thing. not saying it is bitshares or nubits, but i think, what they're trying to do could be a step in the right direction.

i think exchanges should start experimenting with altcoins/bitUSD pairs or altcoins/nubits pairs. i'd love to have some altcoin/fiat trading, but hate the idea of holding them in an exchange. the beauty of bitUSD and nubits is you can keep 'fiat' in a wallet you control.
edit: if some of you think bitUSD or nubits suck due a number of reasons, then it might be good to think about better bit.FIAT solutions. it could be the next big thing for all we know.

Bitcoin mining service CEX.io has announced it will suspend its cloud mining activities.
The company stated in a 12th January blog post that it is no longer profitable, blaming declining revenues amid a dropping bitcoin price. CEX chief information officer Jeffrey Smith told CoinDesk that operations would resume if the price of bitcoin climbs above $320, calling the move “temporary”.
The suspension comes after CEX customers experienced disruptions to their cloud mining service, which the company at the time attributed to third-party complications. Smith said that the two issues are unrelated; that the economic impact of a drop in bitcoin prices cut into its ability to offer its clients profitable mining services.
Indications from CEX’s forums suggest that customers were informed over the weekend about both the risk of unprofitability as well as stipulations in the customer terms of service related to potential stoppages. On Friday, a CEX spokesperson cited the former when asked about reported customer compensation issues. more here... http://www.coindesk.com/cex-io-halts-cloud-mining-service-due-low-bitcoin-price/
