Hi, I'm a newb :)

[hottweelz]

Wanted to introduce myself and make an attempt at a quick (and I mean quic) autobiography.

I've recently delved into this Bitcoin Phenomena and I'm overall impressed and ready to jump in.

Currently I have .13 cents USD worth of Bitcoins.  (I rock!)

Here's the deal:

I specialized in something that is called "Fix Protocol" on Wall St for the past 12 years.  Now, you very well may have heard of it, as it seems many bitcoin gurus are very Wall St oriented.  Its basically a Multi P2P Communications Protocol that aids in Electronic Trading.

I won't get long winded into Fix Protocol, that's what Google is for.

Not attempting to brag, but when I say "Specialized In FIX," I actually am referring to the fact that I am one of the most acclaimed experts in FIX.  CNN cited "ME" as the reason Bank Of America bought Merrill Lynch due to our milestone of being the FIRST United States Trading Firm to implement and succeed with FIX Protocol Connections to the Bovespa Stock Exchange in Brazil.

Basically, I "don't have to work anymore" and out of boredom and the desire to play with new hot technology, I became really attached to this Bitcoin deal.

Bottom line is this:  I hope to learn a LOT from you all.  Has anyone entertained the idea of using Bitcoins over a FIX Protocol Connection essentially linking all of our local Clients as well as the Major ETFs? 

If this has been entertained, I'm MORE THAN HAPPY to help out in anyway I can with FIX Protocol 4.0 - 4.2.  It would blow transactions out of the water ten fold as far as speed and volatility.

If not and the above just irritated you... at least welcome me aboard

Hi there!

Welcome and good luck!

Thank you, I've been spending about 72 hrs now just trolling and reading threads.

You'd be surprised - there's more of a "geek culture" here than a "trader culture" I'd say.

As for FIX, no, it's really been implemented to my knowledge - it should be, but it's not 

There's actually a surprising amount of scope for arbitrage between the various bitcoin exchanges if you're well capitalised on all of them. In terms of the levels of cash on wall street it's barely even a rounding error, but hopefully things will advance a little with time 

[hottweelz]

Right, I think I should take some time out to learn the exchange side of this endeavor... If I can decide that FIX Protocol would benefit everyone as far as speed and security, then I'll become a Geek again!

All we really did on Wall St was take Tangible Currency and make it Virtual Currency if you think about it.

SO let's do the opposite?

You need to be online and "logged in" which I think practically requires you to click something every hour, for a certain amount of time.

Mine is getting just scary:
"Total time logged in: 10 days, 5 hours and 23 minutes."

Argh, I can't even add a link in my signature?  It's my real business, not bitcoin related LOL
