Not very active is it? Pretty embarrassing for the Winkle's really, let's hope it picks up this coming week.

Maybe people just don't like them. Or maybe people don't want to contribute to making little Harvard elitist thieves even richer. How many yachts do those little scumbags really need anyway?

Larry Summers, the former Harvard University president, isn't hiding his disdain for the Winklevoss twins -- the notorious pair who started their feud with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg while the three were students at the school under Summers.

"One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they're an asshole. This was the latter case, ” Summers said at the conference. "Rarely, have I encountered such unfounded swagger, and I tried to respond in kind.

Are you assuming that bitcoiners as a group are guided by some kind of aesthetical ethics? Or even worse, that Wall Street is?

You're right. I like to think of Bitcoiners as ethical liberal types that hate what the government did to Ross Ulbricht and want to make a difference. Coming to this thread makes me realize that probably isn't true.

Is Gemini closed over the weekend, or just zero interest?

Of course it's not closed over the weekends. You can see the level of interest from the trades that occurred during the last 17 hours. The biggest trades were for 3 bitcoins, 2.12 bitcoins, and 4 bitcoins. All the other trades were for amounts below one bitcoin. Trades for 0.02 bitcoins make up the majority of trades. The trade for 0.00 bitcoins must have been for an amount below 0.01 bitcoins.

Either the service that Gemini provides is materially and substantially valuable or it is NOT.

Why does it matter about their personalities or their "elitist" status or their already spoiled brat status, except possibly if people are either trying to distract from the conversation or are preoccupied by petty and quasi-irrelevant considerations?

Really? Are you that naive? People avoid businesses all the time because they don't like their politics. I know people that still refuse to use Exxon Mobil products because of the way they handled the Valdez spill 25 years ago.

Banks are the real clients in this case, and all they care about is making money.  LOL@ them forfeiting potential massive profit (especially if crypto-currency becomes an asset class) because some guy in the bunch doesn't particularly fancy the CEO.

People are judgmental regardless of where they work and I seriously doubt wall street types see Bitcoin as this savior financial vehicle they've been waiting all their lives for. They might look at the track record of the CEO to see how sound their decisions are.

Good god, read this: https://exchange.gemini.com/user-agreement

You may have to give them a blood sample before you can trade there. That might be why they don't have much business yet.

Crypto-currency could actually be quite good for banks.  They'd love a way around credit cards.  Not good for credit card companies, remittance companies, etc.  I don't think credit card companies know how to respond, still.

If everyone was like you nobody would use Bitcoin. Comments like this make me want to sell all my Bitcoins and never look back again.

Maybe that's why adoption hasn't been as fast as you would all like. Any news is good news, right?

Interesting!

A recent post on the Clearmatics website, titled “No, Bitcoin is not the future of securities settlement,” provides a point-by-point analysis of the original Bitcoin whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto from the point of view of the financial establishment, and a clear outline of the reasons why banks and mainstream financial institutions won’t touch permissionless blockchain networks like Bitcoin.

Let them bumble around in the dark if they wish. Eventually they too will find the light switch.

Maybe people are buying for reasons you/we don't know about.

Sometimes someone actually needs coins to buy 'somethings'.

I don't think 5 USD price rises are anything to think too deeply about. The price has been fairly stable for a while now, we don't need to look for reasons why it's gone up such a small amount.
