these days it's becoming harder to deny that BTC will establish some sort of position in the wider world. It may be gargantuan, or just a handy niche, but it will serve a purpose for many.
I think any level towards more regulation is bullish. Anything coming from the government legitimizing Bitcoin vs outlawing it is bullish. If people want to see the market cap explode, we need to attract big money like wall street, and you can't do that unless BTC is legitimized through regulation.
Fuck ripple corporate proprietary bullshit. Buy in if you want, but I wouldn't touch that shit. RippleLabs owns 50% of all ripple that will ever exist. All transaction fees go to the corporation. I don't understand why anyone would buy into this crap.
<tinfoil> It's CITI bank. They slowly bought coins over the last year using their hoard and super millions to suppress the price. Obama is in on it too! It's a conspiracy! </tinfoil>
I don't know I bought in this time last year and I'm not raging like fewcoins. I just keep getting more BTC looking at it like a buying opportunity. Maybe it's because I didn't go all in, and I dollar cost average by buying some every month.
