I forgot that I'd posted that chart in this thread. Here's an update:



Well, it does show some upside.
That us a relief!

All easily appealing, understandable and accessible investments, or some?  If the latter, how do you determine which?

Investments which are easily appealing, understandable, accessible and receive a lot of hype.
Bitcoin may qualify

Can someone tell me if those states are R or D? I am not sure...

Does it matter?
Laws and attitudes don't change when the government changes...

You won't die when the computer * crashes *.

Good one!!

I would advise the OP to follow his heart.
If flying excites him, he would be much better off becoming a pilot than sitting in a place and coding.

Looks like bears are on vacation

The bears seem to be active in the market.
Steady decline in value since hitting $300.

Bitcoin again falling down.So volatile.Any more reasons???

By now, everybody should have become used to this roller-coaster ride.  Smiley
169  Economy / Speculation / Re: Currency-like Volatility? on: January 29, 2015, 12:45:37 AM
Stable national currenices maintain monthly volatility against the US dollar of less than 12%; most far lower.  Central banks can smooth this to some degree as is politically or economically useful.

With Bitcon's supply predetermined, what type of price discovery/market cap would be necessary to find comparable stability in the 3-5 year near term?  We currently observe month-to-month exchange rate swings of 40% or more.

right now it inflates by 8% this year. That means it will remain extremely volatile for now. Try again in 2020 after two more halvings. Maybe better then (in case it's still relevant then).

The problem is that money coming into Bitcoin is not sufficient to meet this inflation. If this increases, the relatively high inflation Iin terms of money supply) wouldn't really matter.

sell while its still up shortly it will fall soon.

The mood seems to have changed from "buy buy buy" to "sell sell sell".  Grin

http://isup.me/facebook.com says that it's down right now, and I can't connect to it.

Not that I care a whole lot.

But it's unexpected though... So, what do you guys think happened? And do you even use Facebook?

They seem to be going to great pains to clarify that they were not under attack.

Corporations generally accede to requests from the government.
Few would prefer antagonizing the government over privacy concerns.

Give them the money in cash , free the hostages, and then ten minutes later hit them with a cruise missile which will also destroy the cash

Simple is the best solution sometimes....

You won't know whom you hit. There are too many of them.
If they think they can get cash, it might embolden them to try such kidnappings again.

Shorting would have worked.
Price is substantially down now.  Smiley
