PWC has no investment in Blockstream or anything to do with investment in Blockstream. (Not that it would matter if they did), AFAIK no bank has any investment in Blockstream-- though they might be wise to, to the extent that the technology we work on might displace some of their businesses they'd be wise to want to figure out how to adapt to it.
But really, most groups that might be displaced by Bitcoin simply can't see it coming-- if they weren't blind to the reasons it would displace them they wouldn't likely be displaced. There is no reason that any ordinary bank today couldn't quite profitably adapt to an all Bitcoin world.
There is all the reasons In the world Banks WILL NEVER adapt to bitcoin as it is meant to freaking by-pass them and their sham of a financial system. Them banksters rely on debt money. Not sound money. So they will fight it, infiltrate it, try at corrupt it, etc. Pretty much what we have witnessed so far with stupid "Blockchain tech" hype, social ingeneering bullshitery, kyc/aml regulation sheningans, governance schemes and other fork attacks. But may they try harder. Make bitcoin even more resilient to their obsolete tactics. Never say never. And if there is a way to earn (or safe) money, they will (maybe when it's the last or only one left). They dont need to earn/save money, They fucking print it all day long. Yep, as miners do. |

If you sit on a (big) bunch of ETH, what would you do with it?
There is no real use case (yet) - so kick them into sth new hypy / at least with 20% ...
For physics:
You can solve a 2 body Problem, good!
3 bodies ? - Ohh - hard....
Many bodies ? -> do some mean field aproach and look for equilibrium states.
I predict that the DAO power w/o any CEO or 2-lead CEOs will fall into the many body trap and tend to equilibrium decisions == DEATH
Look @bitcoin actual Problems: Here 2-3 groups cannot agree on a consensus solution...
Cheers

I m a bit astonished about you (TPTB) not knowing bad apples are equally distributed and always need biggest self control, just don t care. (Put on ignore)
I m more eager to see code & ideas. Only this matters.
Cheers!

Slockit (the only smart contract killer app ?
Which we explained upthread can't pass the Nash equilibrium mustard. No decentralization here folks. You might as well just use a server. There is no point nor technology at all here. It is all bullshit for gamblers. Enjoy. Buy more! I tried not to repeat, but this all are hints to me that some top guys are cashing out and seek some more working/profitable invesments / positions for their ICOed money now.... |

With ETH this will be able to do. via the DAO  |
|
|
|

What is the status here?
VB sold
Tual changed to Slockit (the only smart contract killer app ? no complex contracts or turing complete needed)
DAO has big run. the only use case for now? Over valued by the bubble value of ETH? ( try to evalue DAO on ETH value at the time ETH was ICOed)
What will happen if slockit gets no fund from DAO?
What will happen if so and after they earn big bunch of money and decide to sell the GmbH for to investors for Fiat?
.....
Uffff

Unfortunately @TBTB is not very good at doing (even the most basic) research and doesn't know how to ever admit he is wrong (he will now say that the BBC and everyone else is wrong rather than admit his own mistake).
I d understand TPTB saying CW never posted this until he lately tried to claim it in the BBC interview. This oral claim seems to be more panic driven than wanted and given that Dave and CW might have had some close relation and Dave adressed some last wish to CW to never uncover the truth about Dave might be Satoshi, CW now desperately tries to proof its rather him (CW) before others (the hidden drivers) might find out / proof it was Dave.... so guess CW is in the shit doesnt matter how you see it |

Very nice! But I'm extremely disappointed: there's no IPO for me to invest so that I can sell coins at a 1000x bonus a month later. Project failed  Huh? iPO is just running, you can still buy BlockchainSatoshis for nearly nothing, hurry! |

Not SWIFT was hacked, but the banks firewall (old tech)... |

He just wanted to play and proof that he's not Satoshi himself.
Wonder what the SEC will say or the well informed buyers that should be protected from such an ethical inside trade...

Oh sh..t, next thing falling behind sth... Rush, get the TTIP done ....  |

Bitstamp doesn't even show up in the volume pie chart over here - https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/volumepie/ and for good reason. After they emailed everyone about more restrictive KYC/AML requirements, most people said "Good bye" and went over to Bitfinex or one of the Chinese alternatives. And guess who has the lion share of volume besides the Chinese? That's right, Bitfinex. So they can get "licensed" all they want, they'll just end up with a shitty order book that nobody trades on. This is what regulation does, forces business to other places where there's less friction to conduct transactions. Nobody uses Bitstamp anymore, except maybe the Feds? Who knows... I d be interested having this chart w/o the CNY but with the JPY volumes. Have you seen such somewhere else? |

Not a great deal of movement in the price over the last 12 or so hours then! Let's hope for the next move to kick in fairly soon, I want to see 500 USD coins  Don't think you will see the $500 that soon. I believe this will take a few more weeks. Maybe around the end of april or somewhere during june. It's good to see some pessimists here as well, that means still not ALL are already long & all in. |

Japan & China are key to bitcoin's future success, I really hope they start to integrate it more into mainstream payment methods soon.
India might take over all soon, once they spread it over all the unbanked .... |
