Ребята привет, хочу вот немного помайнить, т.е у меня мощная видеокарта Nvidia и хотелось бы узнать .какую валюту лучше майнить и как. Слышал, что Эфир классик соло майнится отлично. да и есть ли смысл .или вид.ха быстро умрет и профита особо не будет? Спасибо.

Ребят, привет, такой вопрос, как лучше и безопасней обменять битки на USD до коррекции? (думаю на 8к), чтобы потом на эти 8 к купить битков? Если биржа, то безопасно ли? Ведь могут блокнуть счет и т.д. Или как лучше всего все это провернуть? Спасибо

Here's a chart of Japanese land prices during their boom and bust cycle.  The US housing market seems to have followed a similar pattern.

If Bitcoin follows a similar trajectory, where do you think we are on the curve?

The ticker has been showing an ask of 15.1001 for the last 5 minutes, but the order book shows lowest ask of 17+

WTF?

How can bids on Mt. Gox be greater than asks sometimes?

Here's a 5-minute stretch from my arb bot log where the spread was inverted:

Who's arbitraging these exchanges?

I'm new around here, so please help me understand how much of a real bitcoin economy there is.

By 'real', I mean productive, creative activities that grow the economy.

I'm seeing a lot of currency trading, which is a zero-sum activity.

I'm also seeing a lot of Ponzi/pyramid and gambling games (not that there's anything wrong with that), but you'd have a pretty shitty economy if that's your main product.

It seems like we'd need a significant ecosystem of value-producing activity, real goods and services denominated in bitcoin, before bitcoin can graduate to a more mainstream currency.

Aside from Silk Road, how does anybody have an estimate of the 'GDP' of the bitcoin economy?

Most of the doubling pyramids have a definite end time.  Most only last 12 or 24 hours.

But here's one that goes on forever as long as there's at least one deposit in 7 days.

I'm pretty new here so correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that this could go on a loooooooong time.

What am I missing here?
