Yet another proof that price doesn't care about news.
No I think it's just that nobody cares about Thailand LOL for real. If that's what Frozenlock meant, well, I have no words.

He's got an opinion, that doesn't make it right, or even close. Seriously, who cares about Thailand making something illegal?

Looks like we agree fundamentally then, my point is if Bitcoin were in a different phase it could have been perceived as dreadful news. Think opposite of Cyprus. It's always the same nonsense justifications.

Like Blitz said, who cared about Cyprus? They are even less then a peck in the Bitcoin world. And yet everyone was talking about it when the market was bullish. I viewed the FINCEN event as a bad news... but in a bullish market, that's good news. Edit: By the way, that's a good insight into the current market sentiment...

Idk, that's like saying citizens in Thailand already have tons of Bitcoin that they are immediately going to dump on the market. The case in Cyprus is the opposite, the citizens will be more inclined to buy. If there are hardly any users, making something illegal (and only pseudo at that) is not a big deal. I agree that the Cyprus scenario was blown way out of proportion at the time. However, I still believe the Cypriots/Argentinians will come around, just let it snowball a bit. These situations are the killer app for Bitcoin. This is assuming Gox doesn't explode in the near future. I guess Thailand can ban the Internet in the interim.

The case in Cyprus is the opposite, the citizens will be more inclined to buy. If there are hardly any users, making something illegal (and only pseudo at that) is not a big deal. It's about how one perceives market actors will act -- not necessarily about how one perceives residents of Thailand will act. Also, this doesn't exist in a vacuum. This "event" (or non-event as the case may be) takes place within the context of a very unclear and grey-market regulatory atmosphere, a landscape which is clearly changing. I agree that the Cyprus scenario was blown way out of proportion at the time. However, I still believe the Cypriots/Argentinians will come around, just let it snowball a bit.
Then wouldn't you agree that the news itself doesn't matter -- only how it fits in with the context of market sentiment? Did anyone expect Cypriots to be buying bitcoins en masse?!

Of course not, their bank accounts were all frozen. The whole 'cyprus thing' was a joke.

Then wouldn't you agree that the news itself doesn't matter -- only how it fits in with the context of market sentiment? Did anyone expect Cypriots to be buying bitcoins en masse?! I don't disagree with anything you said. I'm disagreeing with the differences in news. As far as I can tell nobody really knows what the stance on Bitcoin is in Thailand, just that there aren't pre-existing laws so that it is de facto illegal. Furthermore, making something illegal does not cause the price to automatically tank as Frozenlock suggested, look at drugs as an example. When the Cyprus news hit, it was actually in major media outlets and Bitcoin got a lot of attention for its qualities, ie. avoiding confiscation in scenarios like Cyprus. I haven't seen the Thailand pseudo-news rippling like that. I want to drone on with this but I'll stop as to not derail the thread further.

Part of this conversation, as far as I was concerned, was based around the hypothetical situation that Thailand had banned bitcoin, so what really happened is moot. FUD or news -- it all has an effect. Re comparing bitcoin with drugs, my thoughts are contained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211507.msg2220457#msg2220457But fair enough....
