I think so. If you don't keep your wealth in fiat in a bank, it means that they can't extract fees from you. It means they can't borrow against your fiat and invest it elsewhere, can't use it as collateral or leverage. It means they can't sell more useless services to you, or pray that you suck with managing your accounts and charge you mgmt fees, overdraft fees, ATM fees, etc. A hell of a lot to fear. Mark my words, before too long banks will be offering to hold your bitcoin for you (securely of course) and transferring between fiat to btc, and back, with little to no fee as incentive. |

Rofl maybe they should learn about ssl certs first before they try to offer a bitcoin wallet. Fail. Dutch Rabobank rejects own crypto wallet “Rabobit is a pilot and no part of our services. The position of our Ethical Commission with regards to cryptocurrency trading remains valid”. -Everybody is corrupt and nobody knows anything. That lot probably just want to fill a database with email addresses of the vulnerable. |

That lot probably just want to fill a database with email addresses of the vulnerable. They have been researching a lot about blockchain, at least that's what they said when they were invited by the Dutch parliament to talk about crypto in January. Most of the banks and politicians who were there were only focused on the money laundering issues. Instead of the actual benefits and technological advancements that crypto has to offer. There was one speaker that urged the Dutch politicians to create a crypto friendly climate in The Netherlands, but of course the banks and politicians did not really listen. |

Yesterday Segwit at 20% Today Segwit at 30%    Very impressive. How much will it increase? It would be interesting to know what percentage of the Segwit adoption corresponds to the release of Bitcoin Core 0.16, and what percentage corresponds to Coinbase. ____________________________________________ The trendline resistance is around 10.9k?
sorry, but no Bitcoin follows log trends. That line is currently at 11,800 GDAX 12,200 stamp Thanks! |

I'll say it again. I would trust some of my btc to a traditional bank, as long as - The deposit is backed by (audited) crypto or undilutable bank stock (ordinary bonds would be OK too) - I get my interest (in btc). A reasonable 10% or something like that, depending on market conditions. These banks will find out that luring old school hodlers to part temporarily with their precioussss takes more than a flashy brochure. |

Regardless of wheat one thinks about Barry, this has to be a net positive. It is an on ramp controlled by an entity that is almost certain not to close to crypto faithful. |

Cleaned this up some for easier digestion. Have to see how much its going to take to fill up this pool here. Its really going to be a wild ride this year. Talk among the daytarders is that we need to see a lower low but I am not convinced. There is quite a bit of selling pressure but we are soaking it up so far. I really like cookies to btw..  |

First official day of retirement.
Congrats Baw'b. Not retired yet. That won't kick in until end of 2q18. But I am on vacation today. At a locale much closer to the equator than is my home. Here's a toast to your retirement:  Grrr. You know what the downside of the beach is? iPad instead of real machine. And imgur refuses to work on iOS except through their stupid app. Which seems to prevent linking to an actual photo. Like, for embedding into a post. C'est la guerre. Whatever, there's a link up there. Maybe I've just had too many Heinekens... |
