yes, past year, more and more money been flowing into btc startups and funding nice to see it in graphs, thanks
I am very bullish on bitcoin right now, always have been, and selected alts will do very well also on the big climb up. there are hundreds of different fiat currencies in world, far less than from years back, but still is a massive problem with dollar and euro having such a large slice of action
one thing that won't happen is 'just bitcoin'. for the same reason there isn't just the dollar. people don't ever want that, there has to be choice. bitcoin will dominate for foreseeable future but if people think other alts will just go to dust they are mistaken. i have bitcoin and selected alts that are well run with good communities, great developers admittedly there are hundreds of crud alts too that I don't touch

Hi all,
how long do you think it will need to get to 1.000? Months or years?
In my opinion 1-2 years, just would like to know your opinions
` it was 1000$ before so its not a big thing it can go again but the big thing is stability , i want it stable at 1000$ agreed, and I fully expect this to happen this year it was 1200$ over a year ago. I think longterm stability in the $950 - $1200 range will happen. we may even see $2500 within 12 months just imo

http://www.coindesk.com/three-unnamed-bidders-win-latest-us-marshals-bitcoin-auction/The US Marshals Service (USMS) has revealed that three bidders each took home a portion of the 50,000 BTC sold during its most recent bitcoin auction held 5th March.
The winnings were divided among the unnamed individuals, with the leading bidder claiming 27,000 BTC ($7.9m at press time). The remainder of the bitcoin was split among two individuals who took winnings of 20,000 BTC ($5.9m) and 3,000 BTC ($885,801), respectively.
A spokesperson for the USMS confirmed the totals via email, adding that the transfer of proceeds to the winners has now been finalized.
While no winning bidders have yet come forward, the trading desk at SecondMarket, the entrant that claimed the highest share of the 50,000 BTC sold in December’s auction, has publicly revealed it did not enter a winning bid.
Other known participants, including hedge fund Pantera Capital and investment management company Binary Financial, have yet to comment on the news publicly.
A final auction of the roughly 44,000 remaining bitcoins in possession by the government agency is expected to be held later this year. working it out seems average of $290 - $300 per bitcoin

so far just fud normally someone steps out and reveals if they have bought as part of group or whatever http://www.usmarshals.gov/assets/2015/dpr-february-auction/Cash. The bid must be an all cash offer. Bids that are contingent on financing terms of any kind will not be considered. All bids must be made in U.S. dollars. Receipt of Funds. The winning bidder should be prepared to wire purchase funds to the USMS by 2:00 P.M. EST on Monday, March 09, 2015. If the winning bidder does not provide the USMS with a copy of the wire transmittal receipt by this date, the bidder will be disqualified and another winning bidder will be selected. FAILURE TO INITIATE A WIRE TRANSFER AND PROVIDE THE USMS WITH A COPY OF THE WIRE TRANSMITTAL RECEIPT BY MONDAY, MARCH 09, 2015, AT 2:00 P.M. EST WILL RESULT IN FORFEITURE OF THE BIDDER’S DEPOSIT. The winning bidder is responsible for any wire transfer fees associated with his or her payment.. so, there is still half a day for wire funds to be sent, so until it is wrapped up, usms won't reveal anyway, and the buyer/s 'may' reveal later on in coming days, maybe not. probably not it is only people like barry silbert or tim draper that do we shall see

i think main buyers will be funds, larger players and hodlers all auctions have gone this way and is great news out of hands of criminals and black market players, and out of hands of other criminals fbi and cia once all ulbricht and other silk road players coins sold at these auctions there is unlikely to ever be such things again

I came across this as often look at great domains to see what's there and was very pleasantly surprised. I think this is an amazing idea and they are using the bitcoin blockchain perfect for sealing your idea whether graphics, concept or whatever without wasting tons on trademark, copyright crap a welcome addition I think! https://www.proof.com/best of all free, or a tiny fee on blockchain makes easy for people not as tech savvy as some

It's a grim outlook. I think he has yet to be tried on the hitman allegations, i'm assuming that's life on it's own?
That is a separate trial, though attempting to hire someone to kill people doesn't usually get life though it's just as serious in my opinion. There was a case a year or so ago about the lead singer of As I Lay Dying attempting to hire someone to kill his wife and he only got six years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Lambesisagreed ah yes, I remember that case. he got away very lightly
