Just need 1 more push & we'll see $300 guys  But, beware of dumpers who could dump their bitcoin  The big push is going to happen. A lot of people will want to get in before the next block reward halving. |

Older Greeks will remember that. In the old days, before the Euro, every year, the BS drachma was losing 10% of its a value towards towards the mighty Deutschmark. The Euro was a huge chance for Greece, without it would have ended up like Zimbabwe. This is what's going to happen anyway. The Euro was a just a break from Greece's normal history.
The Greeks still have a chance to express their view in the referendum tomorrow. Right now, it seems too close to call whether they will say yes or no. |

Governments everywhere seem to be tightening the noose around anonymity.
ICANN must be feeling pressure from multiple sources.

Unless you're not aware, it already started. On a slow phase, eventually they will scale it up and integrate with bitcoin then that "big reset" will happen.
Yes, they are still 'fighting' Bitcoin. When they start scrambling to adopt Bitcoin, we will know that the reset is about to happen. Citi has made a start with citicoin. |

Im yet to see a proper critique that's hard enough to predict an outcome of "Bitcoin dying" that is convincing enough to be considered seriously. This is all over again taking things out of context and not understanding a lot of key subjects on BTC and the protocol.
Possibly because it is impossible to have a proper critique which concludes that Bitcoin is dying?  Even if the critique is not exhaustive, people should at least try harder. |

I don't think the price is going to hit $300 this month. We may see that number breifly, but dumpers will bring the price down agian. I know there is a situation in Greece and Bitcoin could help greek citizens but it won't keep the value of bitcoin above $300 for a long period of time.
Even if it does touch $300, people will realize that Bitcoin just needs an excuse to break out. Today it is Greece, tomorrow it could be another country. Nations keep screwing up their economies. |

It would have been nice if he had talked about actual numbers.
The original base of Bitcoin users could have been very small.

You could try this (pretty old) thread. |

I just saw this headline about bitcoin: "With Greek Uncertainty, Investors Seek Safety in Gold and Bitcoin" That is the actual headline! Now bitcoin is "safe", and the WSJ it a heavy hitter in the investment press. I am sorry the article is behind a paywall, but I think this is the best headline I have ever seen for bitcoins. The FUD news seems to be in the rear view mirror Maybe they had a last minute change of heart about the headline! The URL reads http://www.wsj.com/articles/with-greek-uncertainty-investors-seek-safety-in-gold-and-even-bitcoin-1435705212 "Even Bitcoin" doesn't sound positive, it sounds desperate. |

The uncertainty in financial markets is certainly helping Bitcoin. If it is driven by fears of a Greek exit, then an actual Grexit could spark a bull rally in Bitcoin.

If you opened your btc wallet and found a balance of 100BTC, what would you do with it?
Forget about it, and open it when I retire. It isn't too much now, but maybe it will be sufficient to have a comfortable retired life. |

Currency controls just announced. People won't be able to withdraw more than a maximum of €60 (£42; $66) from their bank account each day. It's also unlikely Greece will remain an isolated case. If anything, this is the tip of a very large iceberg. The intelligent people have already withdrawn their money (and may be converted it to dollars / gold / bitcoin). It is only the common Greeks who will be left holding the bill. |

It is nice to see that Bitcoin is deemed important enough by the developers.. so important that they are working on increasing the device's capabilities to steal Bitcoin private keys. This device would be more relevant in actual spying.

Actually, I'd prefer it if bitcoin was adopted by the porn industry, because it shouldn't be shameful to use it with anything. You can also pay your bills with bitcoin and if you can buy porn and drugs with fiat cash then why not bitcoin? If we want bitcoin to succeed as a currency then people should be able to buy absolutely anything they want with it... even illegal stuff and that's just up to the authorities to police.
Oh, and fuck the ignorant perception of society. They'll change their mind over time, but then it'll be too late for them anyway.
As long as there is some taboo associated with watching porn, bitcoin is a natural fit for the porn industry. Credit card companies and banks sometimes have hesitation in dealing with porn companies. No such issues with bitcoin. I think the proportion of porn sites accepting bitcoin should be already high. |

I don't see why Facebook feels the need to fight bitcoin. They could easily integrate bitcoin and make a killing. It would be good for bitcoin as well.

You could probably loan them for later profit. However, you have to be wary of scammers who don't repay loans.
Or you could trade on the market.
Also, you could invest in cloud mining, but there aren't very reliable cloud mining providers out now.
Loaning is not a wise option. Default rates are pretty high. Unless, you have a good hang of it, you could lose money. |

It wouldn't solve any of Greece's problems.
Greece needs practical solutions to its debt problem. It does not have a currency problem.

Fungibility of bitcoins is very important.
So you really don't have to worry where bitcoins came from. If people were to be stopped from using certain bitcoins, it would destroy the basic concept of fungibility.

This is probably a good thing.
New York can remain the financial capital of the fiat world.
