Only with Purchasing power parity (PPP)
But in nominal GDP it still has a way to go.
PPP makes the most sense in comparing economies anyway. Would you disagree? Yes, I disagree. Only real numbers make sense. Purchasing power parity is bullshit. All depends on how you count this "power parity". What does real numbers mean? What's the purpose of measuring GDPs and why would you prefer one over the other? |

We need a person who is good at pricing options. We will have a great offer for you. Please see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=821889.0 for more information of our site. You need to be very familiar with the Black-Scholes model. If you are familiar with stochastic volatility models as well, that will be great. Not sure what exactly you're looking for, but if you need help with option pricing, let me know. Black-Scholes isn't very hard to apply if you have the data, but the assumptions you'll end up making for the Bitcoin markets for the variables are probably going to be very hard to get right. For instance, what is the risk-free rate of return for Bitcoin markets? |

Any plans to cut the fees from the current 1% now that Circle has come out with 0% fees and an option to buy with credit card?

To be fair, this was announced as a HYIP, so everyone knows it's a ponzi. The gamble is to be one of the few (if any) accounts that get their money returned.

I hope some good ideas come out of it, instead of the '<lame business idea> Using Bitcoin'.

Wake up.
Why would you want to do such a thing? The dream seems to be going on just fine  |

Thank you everyone for the response. I think there is a confusion here that I am the investment manager. Sorry, I'm not. I am from technical background and I'm supervising all things Bitcoin for the investment firm. As Bitcoin is a less known investment product for most investment managers, I'm also trying to help him out with my knowledge and predictions.
To clarify another point, our calculation was not so simple to take 500 as breakpoint and invest at 600. We are mining at our own facility and it took some time to develop and grow. We started investing into Bitcoin way before Bitcoin rached 500 for the first time. But, at a properly managed firm, you can not get clearance for huge investment overnight. It requires to show the stats and graphs to the management for approval.
Bitcoin has given back a lot to us and hence we have no problem to wait till March for 500. That is already under coverage. Thanks to everyone who has asked for patience. We are also exploring other ways to efficiently utilize our mining facility.
The only real measure of your success here would be if you can get your investment in BTC back. USD amount doesn't make any sense - you could just have bought a few Bitcoin with the investment money instead of going the mining route. If you want to measure your performance, your benchmark will need to be this, not breaking even in USD but whether your mining operation was able to beat a dumb 'invest in BTC' strategy. Did it? Will it? |

Any thoughts on BitShares Music and Peertracks?
peertracks.com
bitsharesmusicfoundation.org
Some great ideas emerging there, only thing is I'm not too sure if people are prepared to pay a premium for digital music again? Songcoin - where you invest as a stakeholder in a simple competitive environment and can create a passive income. We believe this has more potential? like anything new we look for the potential - creation - growth - survival. Thanks - Songcoin - Invest In Music Bitshares music is definitely promising. At least they are trying out a genuine idea instead of another altcoin scam. I think fans might still be inclined to pay for music they like, and the artist also gains by offloading some of the 'shares' of a song on to speculators, so the artist makes 'guaranteed' money. That's the advantage with a speculative market - you can offload the risk and have something to gain. |

I am from an investment management firm. We invested a part of client's money into Bitcoin Mining. As most of u already know that investment firms deal with large chunk of money, we had to go for cloud mining to cope up with the huge inflow. There was no big problem as we run our own solar powered cloud mining setup. Things were fine as long as Bitcoin was floating above 500 USD. But, in the last quarter (July-September), bitcoin price slump against USD has affected our operating profit. In this quarter we had to payback customers from the earning of previous quarter as we were expecting a price rise in this quarter (October-December). 500 USD is ok for us and anything beyond only makes profit. But, we are a bit worried, as price is not showing much of an upward movement. So, I have 3 Qs to the community...
1. Do you think we should liquidate the current investment in cloud mining and go for other investment opportunities ?
2. Do you think price will cross 500 USD by March 31, 2015 ?
3. If point 2 is NO, is there any other option to keep our cloud mining operation up and running ?
Just so we're clear, you're an investment manager. You invested your client's money into Bitcoin mining and you don't have a calculation for the price of Bitcoin that would mean a break-even price for you? And you come to the forums to ask for investment advice now? |

I always point out to the perma-bears that no one knows the future. Unfortunately that applies to perma-bulls also. Of course. But if you're speculating, might as well base it on something concrete instead of 'price movements when I woke up' principle. We've seen extreme bull and bear markets in Bitcoin. This extended period doesn't look like either, honestly, although the previous slow-bear market was quite concerning. No one knows the future, but the question is, can one intelligently speculate about it, based on facts known today, and over a sufficiently long period of time, IMO. |

All I ever hear about BTCJAM is scams...how can you advertise "you dont have to worry about being scammed"
+1 that's a totally ridiculous claim. You'll always worry about being scammed on BTCJam, and there are no real safeguards in place at the site. |

What's your criteria for a breakout? The price isn't even $400, and the rise hasn't been too dramatic.

Do you have a press release/press kit?
We don't really have a press kit; I just email news outlets from time to time, and have personal connections with certain journalists. All the CoinFest organizers in other cities also engage the press independently, in a decentralized fashion. Please hit me up if you're doing anything in New York. |

Because I'm freelance.
Get it?
Ian DeMartino, It would appear you are a compulsive liar. Dude, chill. He claims exactly what he says. Which part of being a freelance writer who is also a staff writer for a publication don't you get? He gets paid by the publication, but not the companies/coins he covers. What's the lie again? |
