Reading through this thread is like a time machine! Very entertaining!
63  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does the FED already control Bitcoin? on: May 25, 2014, 03:03:27 AM
As someone who believes that the FED controls most of the large financial elements either directly or by proxy I think it would be dead easy of them to of bought a ton of Bitcoin, a few billion is nothing to them and now have a controlling stake.

I feel like the media stories that would come out to knock Bitcoin and then the inevitable drops in price reminded me so much of the way banks control the Gold Price etc. Using certain media outlets as a foil for price manipulation.

Maybe if we thought like the enemy, one banks and the Fed we would simply buy up a large majority and then dump as we saw fit. It's almost a no brainer. Therefore they neutralise the threat of Bitcoin by systemically crashing the price so they can point to it and say see, it's volatile and unstable. It would be completely in the FEDs interest to do this as to safeguard the Dollar.

Opinions?

You may be correct.

Can't put anything past them. Many have floated the theory that the whole Bitcoin system was started to get people used to a cashless society where every transaction can be tracked. I don't buy the theory myself though. However, they can certainly cause havoc in the markets due to all the seized BTC they have!

Great list! I heard of some company that was allowing you to buy physical gold with XRPs (Ripple's native currency). It sounded good, but given everything that's going on with Ripple I don't know if I'd trust going this route.

My vote would  be for BTC-e due to the huge volumes.

Here's my forecast: Bitcoin is definitely going up long term, but can also correct at any time. It doesn't matter how many lines you have on your chart - all it takes is one unexpected news announcement to come along and blow your trade out of the water.

Buy and hold - easiest, safest, stress free.
67  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is BITCOIN more expensive than other cryptocurrency? on: May 25, 2014, 02:04:30 AM
First mover advantage has a lot to do with it. Imagine if when the Cyprus crisis happened we had all the altcoins that we have today - no way Bitcoin would have shot up so much as quickly as it did.

But now it has by far the most money backing it in way of businesses, investors, developers, etc. so that's the reason it is still #1 !!

I was also most impressed with Google's unbelievably swift response to this issue. Way to go Google!

Nothing. That is either the good or bad thing about Bitcoin, depending who you ask.
