Don't be fooled by the quiet and stable price. The next pump will bring it all the way up to at least $18000.
There simply is too much demand.
Put your buy orders now
if this happens in 2015, if btc touches $18k I will blow you live on cam to all bitcointalk members, and I'm not gay so that is how sure I am it won't lol lovely thought though..... hitting that price I mean  |

I'm thinking a Chinese owned company of a US company registered in US. could do this via their US bank account legally

Just had this thought.
because chinese have such hard probelsm taking money out of their closed system, and new regs meant individuals can buy btc on chinese exchanges but banks can't del with transactions etc, that stopped the last bubble, along with mtgox and karpeles screwing up...
now that Winklevii have gemini ready to officially launch tomorrow and they have jumped through all regulatory hoops, they want to attract institutional investors, does that mean Chinese can invest in bitcoin via Gemini if big boys and using platofrm as an institutional investment. ie via shell companies?
just wondering as Chinese money often has to buy overpriced real estate to get cash out country, they don't want to be in chinese stocks, so if this was a way for the, we could see moon?

Point-of-Sale Giant Ingenico Rolls Out Worldwide Bitcoin Payments http://www.coindesk.com/point-of-sale-giant-ingenico-rolls-out-worldwide-bitcoin-payments/BitPay has partnered with payments giant Ingenico to allow brick and mortar stores to accept bitcoin via its point-of-sale (POS) terminals.
The payment solution, unveiled today as part of Blockchain Week, was developed by BitPay and installed on an Ingenico Terminal ICT250.
According to the company, it will be compatible with the majority of Ingenico terminals as they run its operating system, Tellium.
Speaking about the integration, Miguel Angel Hernandez, managing director of Ingenico Iberia, said in a statement:
"Participating in such an important project has allowed Ingenico Group to demonstrate its leadership in the payment space and bring a safe and secure payment method like virtual currency to the end user."
The France-based company, which employs over 5,000 people globally, reported a revenue of €1.37bn in 2013.
Spreading bitcoin globally
Earlier this year, Ingenico partnered with Paymium to enable retailers in Europe to accept bitcoin payments.
A spokesperson for BitPay, however, said that this new partnership would make this solution available on a global scale. Additionally, he said, all BitPay merchants currently accepting traditional fiat payments via compatible Ingenico terminals can now also accept payments in bitcoin.
"We are excited to partner with Ingenico Group, one of the leading payment processors in both physical and online commerce. This integration will help us expand bitcoin payments to thousands of retail payments worldwide," said BitPay's executive chairman, Tony Gallipi.
The company made headlines last month after it announced it would be reducing the size of its staff in an attempt to "better align with the pace of growth" in the industry. |

http://bitcoinist.net/venezuela-tests-bitcoin-website-ban-streisand-effect-incoming/Venezuela “Tests” Bitcoin Website Ban – Streisand Effect Incoming According to multiple complaints from Bitcoin users within Venezuela, the government of Venezuela has started blocking several known Bitcoin websites. The affected websites include Bitcoin exchanges, Bitcoin news sites, and also Bitcoin mining sites. The major ISP in Venezuela is CANTV, who has previously done similar censorship in the country. Like last time, the Venezuelan ISP has started publicly claiming that the blockage was due to a platform error. An error that conveniently only affected Bitcoin sites and Twitter, a site that the Venezuelan government has been caught red handed trying to censor before.
The current list of banned sites include:
coindesk.com
blockchain.info
blinktrade.com
surbitcoin.com
miningrigrentals.com
nicehash.com
btc-e.com
coinapult.com
coinbase.com

This Isn’t Venezuela’s First Censorship Fiasco
moises-872422_1280Internet censorship of this sort is nothing new to Venezuela, and is likely the government flexing their muscles and testing some blocking functionality that they might need to use during a crisis. After all, the United States has also claimed that it could do the same. Having observed the Venezuelan government blockade and censor Twitter and then publicly deny doing so, Author Jose-Luis Rivas stated the facts simply:
Censorship is unconstitutional, as it is established in the article 57 of Venezuela’s Constitution. A blockade is an act of censorship. And worse, there is no transparency about what are they blocking or why. The Constitution article forbids censorchip to civil servants to report about the matters they are responsible, and the recently approved infogoverment law in its 13th article promotes transparency and maximum promotion that should be given to their actions. I hope the public servants show themselves as an example of citizenshsip and fully enforce the laws. There are already computer crime laws and there is no need to break a law, neither the Constitution, to enforce another one.

I would like to see some of those Stress balls ---> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_ball with " Mark Karpelès testicles " printed on it... but make sure to make it tiny.  Or a T-Shirt or two, with the following printed on it... " I am Satoshi " or " BitCoin CEO " I hope all this fork fuckery will be sorted out by then... We need a CoinFest with a bit of Oemf! ....Good luck with the arrangements.. See you there. The stressballs are an awesome idea!  I bet any gox user would love to get one of those puppies in their hands go the full hog and get a karpeles punchbag installed in foyer |

Lets just hope that people also actually get paid in bitcoin and not in just regular fiat, as we would still be at square one then.
No Bitpay, just payments in bitcoin, that's what we want to see!
agreed however that would be notoriously hard to do and slow think it will probably be bitpay, which is far from ideal but quick it will probably take the price DOWN, like when other big sites have adopted |
