刚刚才用我的Citibank转给Coinbase钱。这条不准确。

是不是币不保险，过谷歌认证就可能被转走，但钱还是相对安全点，因为只能提现到名称相对的银行账号？

视频在这里。直接看最后。

一开始一个发言人一直提醒：“简要回答，简要回答，不要回答他[听不清]” 发言人：“恩、恩、恩。”

Bitcoin为什么是美国虚拟币？Satoshi不是匿名的吗？看他的论文写的不像是native speaker

Overstock.com的CEO原本是说今年第二季度开始接受比特币的。现在提前5个月正式开始了。Overstock.com估计是现在支持比特币支付的最大商家。Overstock使用第三方服务商Coinbase规避比特币与法币之间的汇率风险。

巨大利好。

Just to bump this up.

The New York Department of Financial Services hearing is now scheduled for Jan. 28. RSVP required if you want to attend.

前一段时间不是说BTCC依靠淘宝变相使用支付宝冲值嘛？BTCC现在肿么办？难道只能用私人银行汇款？

大家好。

我一般用Bitcoin Wisdom来跟盘。这个网站画面简洁，更新快，还有火币网的信息（火币网似乎没有API。不知道他们怎么搞到信息源的。）

但是这个网似乎不支持市场数据叠加查看。具体而言，我找不到在同一张图上看HuobiCNY和MtGoxUSD的方法。

在这里请各位朋友介绍一个支持这个功能的网站或工具。要付费的也可以。

谢谢了。

谁都不是神仙。其实你的一些分析在理。但可能低估了炒作的热情。zynga的消息太大了。

大神，火币网可以银行直充，为啥btcc不可以？

朋友们投资源，时间，或精力到山寨币上时一定要三思而行。现在山寨币的发行已经自动化了。

比如看这个网站: coingen.io. 收0.05BTC就帮你出一个币。什么配置都可以自选。

淘宝上肯定也有类似服务。

山寨币一旦井喷就什么价值都没有了。

Just downloaded the client and everything running greated.

I was about to place a major order with them, then saw this post as part of my due diligence and decided to hold off.

Their 5th/s 6 month contract sounds too good to be true, which probably means it is not true.

2014多头主要看美国机构投资者入巿 ，以及overstock等公司对bitcoin的认可。这对Bitcoin价格的推升可能是巨大的。空头就怕又出一个bad fork或美国监管收紧。或曲线函数或hash被破解了。对山寨币不是很怛心--bitcoin是第一人优势很明显的东西。

This is my newbie post.

While the long-term price of Bitcoin may be determined by its usefulness as a disruptive value transmission protocol, at present, the driving force seems to be speculative sentiments.  And nothing affects speculative sentiments in the Bitcoin market like regulatory actions do.  We need only to look at what the one-two punch by the Chinese regulators had did to Bitcoin prices for an example of this causal link.

As such, it is important for any serious Bitcoin traders to anticipate when major regulatory moves would occur next.  Below are four events excerpted from a watchlist that I have assembled.  I hope the readers of this post will find them helpful.

Tax -- IRS's treatment of Bitcoin trading gains/losses

April 15 will soon be upon us.  This year, given all the media attention, IRS may decide it's time to clarify whether Bitcoin trading gains/losses are capital gains/losses or not.  This action may occur any time during the next 3 month. Anticipated effect: positive.  IRS cannot "ban" Bitcoin.  Any clarification on Bitcoin's tax status would only help add legitimacy and certainty to the Bitcoin economy.

Federal Anti-Money Laundering / Restricition on the financing of criminal activities in general

FinCEN issued a warning about the AML risks of Bitcoin in March, spoke on the same issue at a senate hearing in November, and recently ruled that Bitcoin miners are not money transmitters, thereby exempted from associated AML obligations (mainly the duties to keep records and report suspicious activities). Given AML issues and preventing the rise of Silkroad 2.0 appear to be what the government concerns most about Bitcoin, FinCEN will likely issue formal AML guidance for Bitcoin transactions this year.  Anticipated effect: positive, as long as the guidance does not amount to a prohibition.  Clear FinCEN guidance will lead to legal certainty, and will greatly facilitate business acceptance of Bitcoin as a payment method.

State AML / Consumer Protection -- New York

New York's new Department of Financial Services indicated that it would hold a public hearing on Crypto currencies in November.  Like FinCEN, the state is mostly worried about AML issues and the financing of criminal activities.  Although a date is TBD, the hearing will most likely happen by April.  All Bitcoin supporters are strongly encouraged to attend or to submit well articulated proposals for New York State's regulation of crypto currencies.  Anticipated effect: possible, for similar reasons as above.


China - the third punch

BTC China and other Chinese exchanges dependent on third-party payment processors were hit hard by the Chinese government's decision to ban processors' involvement in Bitcoin-RMB clearing and settlement.  But these exchanges, especially Huobi, are now relying on ambiguity in the regulation to continue their operations: namely, the regulation can be read in a way to permit banks' online banking facilities to transfer customers' funds to the exchanges' bank accounts.  It is just like any other online wire transfers, after all.

Well, maybe not.  The Chinese government may decide that Bitcoin is risky in that a crash in price may result in protestors in the streets, and protectors in the streets are what China hates most.  So the Chinese regulators may decide to issue a third joint announcement that bans all meaningful ways for exchanges to accept RMB.  Liklihood: low, as certain government officials appear to have vested interest in Bitcoin (so that they could silently move embezzled funds abroad). Anticipated effect: negative.  If RMB funds are forced to retreat, a major correction could happen.

Two related notes on china: the country is in an indisputable housing bubble (which may burst in 2014) and may go to war with Japan (very unlikely).  Huge amount of RMB will flow into Bitcoin if any of the two events is to happen.  This compounded with US institutional investors' entrance may well push the price into 5 digits.

Thanks for the information.

I thought GPU mining is no longer profitable given the prevalence of ASIC miners nowadays? Maybe I am wrong.
