BTCUSD moved up after $ got hit by US sales data

What worries me the most is that for 95% of all the bitcoin startups, VCs are just throwing huge sums of $$$ at them, but they are all basically creating "solutions looking for problems" instead of solving real needs.  Gee, where have I seen and lived through that before?  Oh yes, the DotComBomb of 2000.  Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.


Indeed. But there were a few trillion dollars to be made before it all went tits up and then things really got rolling after the wreckage had been cleared. I hope it doesn't pan out that way but it's kind of a natural cycle.

Believe it or not, one of the companies that I'm most worried about is Coinbase. 

For example, go look at their employee roster page at the bottom.
https://www.coinbase.com/about

In in the past 2 years, I have literally watched that page grow from about 5 employees to what you see now on that page.  And they just keep adding more employees.  At the rate they are going, unless something drastically changes I don't think that they are going to have a business model that will support all of that headcount and still make a profit.

So many sexy girls working at coinbase. I want to work for them.

They have some job offers on their website Wink

prices will be between 0 an infinite in 2015

Makes sense Smiley But in my opinion the price of BTC will continue to stabilize and we wont see another wild ride like the one in 2013.

I am also skeptical but the idea is awesome and I hope it will develop.

I admire Livemore's technical yet cold approach. But prices like 40k$ while we are below 250$ are out of space.
