The regulations are bad news? I have to disgree.... sure some of it is a bit clunky, some of the regs in their current form do not seem to make sense, or be enforceable, or are clear enough,  but there is nothing too serious in there that cannot be worked around, or is not already being done by major exchanges...  besides we have to see what the final draft is like after the consulting period etc.  Not sure there is anything in there that is 100% a bitcoin killer per se,  and if anything having some certainty in place, even if there are parts of the regs that are not
100% how some people would like, it will at least bring some clarity to the situation, and clarity is the FUD killer, and gives players a framework within which to work. NY may stifle innovation of Crypto with their rules, but then they might not...  other states may follow suit and copy and paste the NY regs, but then other states may decide to compete instead... (cali etc) all in all I think that the regs could have been a lot lot worse...and thankfully that is not the case (good news)  I would not categorise the regs as 100% bad news, not even neutral.... I would lean towards good, with a previsio of seeing how the chips fall next..  If anything while Dell is huge, the NY regulations as long as they do not prove to be too prohibitive , will likely not put off any big players, they are not scared of compliance or cost... as long as they can remain competitive........ and large professional, insured, transparant ,regulated, high liqidity exchanges in NY will be significant - I do not think that these regs mean we will not see such exchanges in NY, I still believe we will see them.

I think Mathgamain /Tomis3000 work is great - professional , high quality, stylish, bold, - could do with his work all over this, website  etc -  the old logo and website pure amature rubbish, the two pieces I have seen Tomi do are thousands of times better.

I agree I just thought I would post the article as a brief.

I am just having a read now through the pdf and so far does not seem to be any real shockers...so far...  assuming there are non, that is in itself news... good news at that.

 Be good to see some licensed NY exchanges with some serious liquidity and volume, and with some decent security, insurance/bonds and a little more transparency etc.. assuming the cost is not too prohibitive for compliance, but I have a feeling that will be a non issue for the bigger players.

This could well be the final push for some people that have been waiting on the sidelines, or the intitial shove for many that have not even really heard or considered Bitcoin before, also I am expecting at some point more Bitcoin marketing to surface as the seed monies that have been sown start to come to fruition and real world services come online.

As far as regs go, these seem on the lighter handed touch.... those who welcomed regs will be happy, and those that do not... nothing has really changed.

Price is not value --and vice versa , price is determined more by supply and demand than value, the value of something is somewhat apparent in the demand

I can see the sun shining out of the front of her crotch area, I think right below the 61.8% fib , it is a sign... this looks like where great things are born.

(insert vulgar joke about the 78.6% fib)

We sorry I mean "they" are everywhere  

and hello Gordon 

 

I think you are overthinking a simple joke regarding yoga/men/huge breasts/attention spans

I do not want to marry the girl - and I know nothing about her other than 1)Yoga 2)big fake breasts - I do not care to make a judgement on her level
of sophistication from the fact she has breast implants either, nor should you make one on mine based on a joke... but up to you.

Also "good taste" is subjective- but any way it was meant in jest, and I am sorry if it has offended your sensibilities, and that you find the post/photo/girl/context vulgar. Maybe I should try to work on that.

Joke has kind of run its course now, so I guess it is goodbye to Jordan.

 


 

pffff nothing vulgar about them.

oh god... this yoga lark is not working... and now you have pissed her off... you are gonna get angry crab now... and angry crab is not pretty....

and push ... remember to breath.....

and lift

Interesting, considering their market reach and merchant numbers, and the fact they already operate in financial services , also they own viber and play.com buy.com and are invested in pintrest.

An interesting mix of online retail ,banking, credit and payments, comms,internet services ,travel - by all accounts a e-commerce giant.

Nice.

One by one they are coming...and bitpay or no bitpay, if they are ultimately accepting dollars or not... each and everyone of these giants that come onboard will advertise Bitcoin and increase the public awareness and adoption rates, and continue to cement Bitcoin into the public psyche...

Good news looking forward to them confirming and for the other big fish to get their acts together.
