Did anyone click the ad at the bottom? There's an ad for a get rich quick book and program. It's about investing in corporate reward programs and claims they are as limited as Bitcoin and have just as much growth potential. It uses many Bitcoin analogies which I find hilarious.

Friday is the best day to get financial news stories. They are more likely to be true. Most people don't read on Friday because they are living for the weekend. That's the best time to release bad news and hope it gets ignored. This story is in the Friday edition because only serious people read them.

What about the line from the end of his whitepaper where he says this is only a proof of concept and anyone dumb enough to invest money in it deserves to lose it all?
You made me look.  |

Bitcoin as a virus can be easily controlled (no need to kill it for as long as government can regulate, tax, and confiscate it) as I explained in the prior post about regulating the mining pools. The people can't stand up and fight if their weapon is fundamentally impotent, regardless of how many people adopt it.
For those who say the government can't confiscate your private keys, my prior post says that it is irrelevant. They can block you from transacting, so then your private key is useless.
History is full of examples where common citizens ignored ridiculous laws until they went away. Alcohol prohibition in the 1920s didn't stop people from drinking. Doctors prescribed alcohol as medication. Private drinking clubs proliferated. Police were easily bribed because they didn't believe in that law. Slavery laws were often disregarded in favor of human decency. Traffic laws are routinely ignored. The thing about Bitcoin is that there is no moral reason to ban it. In fact, it's just the opposite. Cash is used for violent crimes because it is untraceable and anonymous. Since paper money technology isn't banned, there is no worry that Bitcoin will be outlawed. |

Now I'm really confused. Which one is the malware, the trexor or the treXor? I guess I should hold off on buying a Trezor until I know which plugins I can use.

Old people are stealing the future of young people, but young people are too stupid to do anything about it. Until there is a political solution for the rights of freedom from debt, they have Bitcoin.

It's too quiet in development space. All we hear about anymore is altcoins and payment protocol layers. There's a few small hardware projects that have been slowly improving. I'm concerned that hardware development has nearly stopped, but find myself doubting that possibility. Somebody somewhere is working on something big in complete secrecy.
I wonder at the value in such a policy in this new spirit of openness. Other have expressed suspicion at hushed motives by core developers in private efforts. While some secrecy is important during startup phases, full disclosure of development should be SOP. After all, all bitcoin holders are also investors in all Bitcoin projects.
I can understand if a large enterprise doesn't want to associate its image with a politically charged topic, but we're beyond that now. Bitcoin is ready for some serious R&D for protocol hardware. I can only hope NDAs are why it's so quiet lately.

Ripple is dead
Ripple is a virus. It's neither living nor dead. Its sole purpose is to suck value out of currency transactions through its non-currency xrp. |

CHOO CHOO
funny to see such an optimistm with only like 10$ pump to dump It was $355 today and came up to $387 (Bitfinex). One of us, should seriously take some math lessons.  https://cryptowat.ch/bitfinex/btcusd/3min/Sure, in last 10 months price dropped like more than 50% , call it whatever you want, i call it bullshit And it was like 1000% more every year, for the last 6... what's your point exactly? And why are you here? Sell it and go away...  i'm here to bother you, can i? it's about reality that BTC is dead, 5 years it was working just fine, i agree, but last year is showing that there is no more developement going on, no more new people addopting it, so fuck it, it's lost in history, believe it or not. Google "bitcoin is dead" About 37,900 results (0.21 seconds) |

Maybe Zuckerberg is lobbying against the ETF just as a revenge against the twins.
This isn't a congressional issue. Lobbyists wouldn't have any effect. If true the drama would make a good sequel movie someday. |

Anyone with any real helpful opinions, knowledge, or facts???
The Winkelvoss ETF is still pending. Fact. This thread title is false. Fact. Anything else is speculative. Fact. |

We're seeing superstition in CNY with support at 2222. China will eat your bitcoins at that price.

Bitcoin back on track! $364...and up to infinity.
Yeah it doesn't seem to be falling into a Rule of Thirds cycle after all after the dumps. We should see a 300 EU in the next few hours. |

There are many types and risk levels for investments. There's plenty of room for a Bitcoin ETF and certainly far riskier options.
