I think that banks are closed in the USA... and even if they were open, you cannot get money from the bank as soon as it opens, can you?

Read a brilliant tweet in recent weeks, can't seem to find it now, so again paraphrasing:

Bitcoin was invented because banks didn't trust one another.
Then they went and built R3 to prove it!

Mere buzzwords..so they can blather on about bitcoin without actually mentioning that dirty word..'bitcoin'...

This whole blockchain not bitcoin meme is a load of hot air, you do know that right?

You cannot have a "blockchain" or "distributed ledger technology" without a native token, everyone here knows this, right?

How are you going to make entries into your distributed ledger? With Cats?? Or just by magic??

Can't have one without the other, simple as. So, they can call it whatever they like, all while trying to avoid using certain words but they're only fooling themselves.

Or wilfully trying to delude themselves...or, they just actually don't effing get it.

Andreas Antonopolous made a nice analogy..I'm paraphrasing here:

Horse and cart is the existing technology...
Someone invents a motorcar!

'Blockchain not bitcoin' minded people say: Wow.. we really like this pnematic tyre technology you guys have come up with and want to adapt this for our horse and carts. But we really don't see any potential for the motorcar as a whole.. we are only interested in hte underlying technology of the pneumatic tyres!  

Back on topic: There is no word yet on a possible ETF decision date. Some commentators believing the SEC could kick it down the road as long as possible. Other voices reckon it will happen soon.
The most recent news, are that COIN ETF got a logo, back at start of Dec. and the twins were again 'talking up' bitcoin, also early Dec.

EDIT: Beaten to it.. !

Anybody keeping track of ETF proceedings? When is the next deadline for SEC release of latest round of excuses?

I have a sneaky feeling there may be some insider news behind some of this market action ... and there's nothing more insider than govt. agents leaking and front-running rulings that favour financial players.

LOL ... YOU DAMN MORON!!! ... it is going up like a rocket!!!

Buy on a loss.. but at least buy... FOMO for you soon!

Traders are seeking safe havens, and gold has soared since the brexit.

As digital gold Bitcoin is due to soar faster than physical gold. The world markets will be too turbulent to trust over the summer, and fiat will be diverted from them into Bitcoin.

Who keeps going off-topic?!

$693.56 on Huobi.

Banning cars could markedly reduce the incidence of death by vehicle. But beware, someone might still be able to buy a multi-tonne missile (car) on the black market tho.

Personal liberty and responsibility has its blood price. Same for the lack thereof.

The only bad thing is that there are no referendums in the rest of europe. If they were, half the countries would bail instantly.

It was my family. I don't mind if they tell people.

But I think he typoed multi-billion with multi-thousand.

I thought $1/BTC was reasonable if buying in bulk like that.

you can quote me on this. brexit is a fucking disaster for everything. it's not somehow going to benefit bitcoin.

That may not happen ever again....in a few hours the world is going to change.
