Interesting. It seems that it certainly does not make sense to incorporate it into a protocol when that protocol is designed to be money. However, it seems that it could (alot of answered questions in that could!) make sense if it was designed to compete with the app store.

The concept of a Turning complete scripting language has come up as essentially the defining feature of this new coin, ethereum. If we assume Satoshi purposefully left out this feature set (as the developers of ethereum maintain), was that intentional because having this functionality is in itself to risky to the infrastructure? What does the community think regarding this distinction & what does the risk/ benefit look like?

The price might go down now, but it's not worth it. It will still take a while for the feds to sell, in the meantime the price will go back up, and then yo-yo. But really the people who will buy these coins aren't going to be dumping them on the market. They are buying to keep the supply controlled and the price high. :-)
It doesn't matter when they do it. Right now is when we have the knowledge that they will do it. Although there is some question about how much. It will definitely be 29,655BTC, but it could possibly be as much as 144,336BTC. It's getting priced in right now. If thats the case, its a pretty damn weak sell off. Most people I think realize that there are insititutional buyers that are going to be very excited to snatch up a huge amount of coins without moving the market. Fortress alone could feasibly buy the whole lot of 144k BTC. |

Proudhon, man, c'mon, really? Are we really doing this?
I mean, it's nice to see that you're optimistic about BTC again, but this kind of caricature is going to get a bunch of the newer folks thinking you're being sincere.
To be serious for a brief moment, this is the most bearish confirmed news of all.  |

Who will invest then?
Sadly it seems that not many people will given the current structure. Its only a matter of time until a coin comes along which copies the features they like from ethereum but offers much better investor terms, which would cause ethereum to languish ensuing shortly after. I want this coin to succeed, but as it is its model is similar to Freicoin, with a much stronger disincentive and I expect that the result will be the same and or worse regardless of the feature set. Satoshi was not just an expert in coding, but also an expert in human nature. Absent of the right incentive systems, even the most brilliant currencies will never take hold. |

Sent OP a PM. Genuinely forgot about this. He sent me an address a few months ago, but I need him to confirm that I can still use that one, or give me a new one, before I ship my last bitcoin off. Once this one is gone I won't have anymore, plus I'm short on margin since it's clear bitcoin is done.
Oh, you. |

I have to say that recently my opinion of TA as of late is getting much higher. There has been a huge amount of really good news coming out and the price has barely budged... its even gone down. Lucif said awhile back that TA essentially "unlocks" events to occur and when I first heard it I thought it was garbage... now I'm actually agreeing with him. Much to ponder indeed!  |

Tera, when you said wait for the next FUD, it will be the FUD of all FUDS.. well here you go.. sacrifices answered. This fud does not scare enyone, so the FUD of all FUDS has to be better than this you can't say that.. were building a large red candle.. I am not saying I believe it.. and impart.. usually avoid even selling to make a profit on peoples fear which I consider to be of ill intention. Apparently they are now actually accepting through their business account. This is actually very very good news if that is indeed the case. |

I see the beautiful double bottom and "W" forming   |

How come there isn't more attention paid to the fact that in traditional markets TA illustrates the ebbs and flows of an already mostly saturated market, and in Bitcoin, the market is just commencing the saturation process. There are tens of thousands of back-logged applications across all exchanges, still, from the ATH, representing first-time buyers eagerly awaiting the opportunity to purchase their stash. TA for Bitcoin should be more focused on things like new account activity, new account waiting lists, transfer volume etc, and less about the traditional indicators of price movement. After all, in time, the "price" will likely become varied across exchanges, methods (online vs in-person), legitimacy (regulated vs black-markets) etc. Most importantly, let's not forget how this works - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW8amMCVAJQNow, to $2k. This is true… however there are so many early adopters who are now whales that TA becomes a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. This next week, as previously mentioned, I believe will illustrate who will win the fight for whether we have a final capitulation or not. At this point my bet is on an anaemic bearish capitulation with many bear tears as it will not go nearly as low as hoped for before going up and not looking back. There is simply far too much movement with the financial world getting involved now to be ignored. |
