This is pretty big news guys for those who haven't heard yet.

Anyone here has 21 BTC or more? I see some people aiming for that as a long term goal and long term hold, I also would like to reach this amount, that is why I hope for the price to stay as low as possible so it's easier to achieve, if it keeps growing it will be impossible for me. I still don't even have 2 figures. There is just something great knowing that you are part of only 1 million people to ever own 21 BTC, I would like that.

...

And that would be the Bitcoin to gold price (here the GLD ETF vs. the Bitcoin ETF):



I am not a member of stockcharts.com, so I cannot overlay BTC price in dollars.

But, Bitcoin and gold share some characteristics.  Perhaps traders might gain insights into valuation of one vs. the other.  

The next weapon in the war on cash: capital controls

Walking past Poundland this week, I saw a sign in the window: “Free to use cash”. Gosh, I thought, has it come to that already? Let me explain. I had been thinking about Haruhiko Kuroda introducing negative interest rates at the Bank of Japan. I’d been thinking about just how much of the bond market in Europe offers a negative yield to maturity (about 30%, UBS’s Bill O’Neill told me this week). And I had been reading an article written by one of my colleagues about what might bring negative interest rates to the UK.

Does someone has any suggestions how to make 17 BTC with 7 BTC starting capital in short period of time?

I've seen several forecasts that when the major national fiat currencies crash and burn, a "phoenix" currency will arise from the ashes. This would simplify world trade, and could give some stability to world finances once the debt burden is removed from current bank generated virtual fiat currencies. It is difficult to understand who would create this currency, but it could be the IMF or the AIIB. I believe that its creation, and the ensuing financial stability, could help to stabilise the price of Bitcoins, and this would be good for all of us.

Do you agree with me?

Royal Bank of Scotland economists have urged investors to sell everything except high-quality bonds, warning of a “fairly cataclysmic year ahead.”

Writing in a client note dated Jan. 8, the bank’s European rates research team said that clients should be concentrating on return of capital, not return on capital, and that an ominous outlook to the world economy “all looks similar to 2008.”

The Key Points

• The note is particularly bearish on China and global commodities, and predicts that oil could fall as low as $16 a barrel.
• In a grim set of predictions, Andrew Roberts, head of European economics, rates & CEEMEA research said that the world has far too much debt to be able to grow well.
• He also warned that advances in technology and automation are set to wipe out up to half of all jobs in the developed world.
• The note says equities could fall 10% to 20%.
• It predicts the year will be spent focusing on how to exit positions that have benefited from long-running QE, including emerging markets, credit and equities.

A 10 to 20% fall in equities certainly isn't a long shot. QE has produced a long run-up in stock prices, and on average, we see a market correction of 10% every two years and a 20% correction every five years. Still, the advice to "sell everything" seems a bit much.

Right now i trying to mining a lot of coins, i thinking its mabey its good to save the coins like 6-12 mdr before selling it.

Can orther explain about its a good point else about the risk its to high to lose to lot on it?

There is report  of independent european economist saying if EU zone will continue his financial policy EU will crash in 2017

Today  Carl Hainz Juncker said if Schengen will fail  Euro will  crash,like a answer is we have to stop defend Schengen we need to focus to defend Euro

Both Schengen zone and Euro  are to biggest EU project,Euro cant exist without Schengen

EU is not able to deal with refugee crisis,  Caltalonia  independence,terrorism,Ukraine and Russia,Greece,Italy

so looks like some crash on horizon

Hello everyone what do you think the worth of a junior bitcoin talk account is ?

I am interested to hear your input

Ihave a social security card my mothers maiden name my tax documents from the last year and a credit score of 798 but I can't seem to find anyone willing to give me a loan with the documents I have. Do any of you have any recommendations for websites I can go to for loans with the information I have.

Hey guys, just as the title says, what is the file size for a bitcoin? Does it vary, depending on what coin, or does the file size stay the same? I'm not talking about the size of a wallet.dat file, as those have other information kept inside. I want to know the size of the pure coin.

Does the coin change size the more it is transacted?
Does the coin's size vary if I compare a bitcoin to a litecoin?

I am here to just say one thing? Why do YOU hate people? and you should really give a valid reason not a shitty one that says 'Because Jews, Because Christians, Because Atheists'
and Yes, I am a people's person for those who ask, just tell me, come out of your shell and say why you HATE people like myself, and I could be here to clarify things to you, or not...
Also here is something that most muslims mistake about people's person like me is that "Christianity or Buddhism hate other religions" for this I say, Christianity or Buddhism does not hate ANY religion, but they suggest to 'invite' them to Christianity or Buddhism or Judaism, as slowly, and peacefully, even if they refuse, you can try and try, until it's their choice, you stop. and for all the wars that happened, it's because this other religion decided to come into war on Christianity or Buddhism or Judaism.

If you need anything clarified, I may not be here to answer you, don't be scared, I won't be offended by anyone, also haters, you can reply, I won't care Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink


In other news ->

Homosexuality is not genetic. It is caused by being molested. I have several close gay friends who have confirmed this, including a licensed psychologist in Chicago named Michael Harvey. Gays' first sexual experience is involuntary and painful, but they ultimately enjoy the sexual release, as well as the control their attractiveness has over their male abusers. They enjoy the experiences that come after the first.

Men are not born gay, they are broken. This is why gay men, on average, are better looking than straight men. They are more attractive to their abusers, and are therefore more likely to be molested. And yes, they also inherit the desire to rape young boys, and break more boys into their gay lifestyle. All of them. This is why they lie about their past, and the true nature of homosexuality. They know that if the true nature of their sexuality were known, they would not be accepted in society.

I know to many this may sound insane. Sometimes the truth is a hard pill to swallow. It is time to end the cycle of shame and abuse, and protect our boys from these sexual predators.
