Whatever it is, Bitcoin bites off any hand that tries to 'close it down'. All the negative news lately serves one thing and one thing only: more awareness of this unstoppable thing. It's logical.
FUD so big they're now putting it right on the front page! Gotta keep Average Joes far away! https://www.cnbc.com/The Jp Morgan crook doesn't like bitcoin. Shock. It's fine for him making obscene money and being a crook but he doesn't like bitcoin because it's not government controlled. Government controlled makes it better right? the interview is a total joke and a bit embarrassing making him look like a total dinosaur. |

JD from JP is becoming one of my favourite Bitcoin is dead proponents.
Anyway, people here ain't stupid.
I see real people, normal people like all of us buying good chunk of coins.
One day we will keep only a few dollars into our bank accounts and our wealth will all be stored on pvt keys.

Fully collateralized derivatives. I was pretty sure the first ones to get a green light must be of this kind. So is this October the 4th? I didn't understand the no sooner than bit...
Is this what it means? 4th?
I think that's market speak for "Hey big investors, back the fk off. We're not onboarding you early and before everyone else on our list, no matter how much money you want to throw at us. We're gonna do this in an orderly fashion. Plus we can't until Oct. the 4th anyway." At least that is my interpretation.  Makes lots of sense.
CDS are a kind of shorts already. This brings the WS casino to BTC, I wonder if we must be happy with this... .
I think the wording reported by Torque implies that in order to short, you need to match your order with a long. Zero-sum. This opens the door to ETF and to all kinds of Wall Street madness. This is going to be huge. |

I think we're heading towards a new low. It feels worse getting there slow and steady than a flash crash that rebounds instantly though.

I don't know whether it will be a new low but it sure looks like we will see red this weekend. Probably another damn good short term trade opportunity. |

Yeah, Jim Cramer and some other stock monkies were saying Apple sales were fine and plenty of people would buy the new iphones. He may end up right on the stock price but god damn i havent had an iphone in years. The need to uprgrade generationally is going down, if yours is a few models behind its not a big deal at all. Iphone 4 is the base level, it is enough for the average consumer, free with a plan and still runs fine. Android is waaaay better anyway. Just think of the multitude of crypto apps that can't get approved for the apple app store. |

FUD so big they're now putting it right on the front page! Gotta keep Average Joes far away! https://www.cnbc.com/"If you really wanted to turn off the global internet, you'd have to seek out people on every continent and every country," said Cowie from Renesys. "The internet is so decentralized that there is no kill switch." "No you can't do that," said Harvard's Faris. "The internet is designed to be robust. Feb 3, 2011 "Governments will close down bitcoin and cryptocurrencies if they get too big", warns Jamie Dimon Sept 20, 2017 Consider the following: Governments close down: - All or nearly all major exchanges - All or nearly all major online market places using Bitcoin or some other crypto they want to target, including those on the darknet (on which LE is quite succesfull as of late) - Outlaw Bitcoin (or again, some other crypto they want to target) transactions altogether, and actively police shops and companies that openly accept it. You do not consider that this scenario 'might be problematic'? As said thousands of times before: nearly no one uses Bitcoin in the present. The percentage of the population that heard of it is (very) small as well. Without mainstream backing this will be a massive hurdle, if not a fatal one, as by far most people in society are not even interested in the ideological goals of hardcore Bitcoiners. And those people will be reading newspapers as well, including those that constantly vomit out negative stories about it. Whatever happens, governments can effectively crack down on Bitcoin and other crypto if they'd like. There is no need to take down the network in order to make that possible. |

Good. Apple needs a solid kick to the balls to get their heads out of their asses. They've been losing their way for a couple years now, in my opinion. Their "pro" offerings are complete shit. I'm getting an upgrade in November. What's the best out there? Samsung? |

crackdown != shutdown (or, as more popular these days, 'close down' ) Yes, problematic in terms of adoption No, it won't stop the cat that's out of the bag  |
