This was forced upon with the aid of ltd otherwise it would never be came about and also bcash would not exist, all be happy days. From then on became very suspicious of the Lee character.

Any day above $10k is a good day.
Are we there yet?

Soon.

I'm prepared to accept that.

Ok. Remember how I said "Soon" ?

Yeah, well, it's going to be a bit later than sooner

Sorry about that.

Sheeit.

Just a healthy correction, refuelling the rocket & some are taking profits.
We’ll see $9,000 by this time next week.

Good article. That was an explanation for the recent rally that I hadn't heard before.

Some of the SEC ETF comments are really cringeworthy.

To whom it may concern,

I am requesting that BTC EFT be classified as securities by the SEC.
Thank you

Also on the panel was Chris Taylor, chief operating officer at Everledger, a company that is trying to use the blockchain to track (and miraculously “protect”) diamonds and other assets. Here's an excerpt from his contribution:
It's the same as any system - it's garbage in, garbage out. So you've got to make sure that the participants that you're allowing to contribute to the network are trustworthy.

According to his Linkedin he obtained a bachelor's degree from Leeds. Where'd the doctorate come from?

They stopped all comments on July 11.

Likely because they read mine that I submitted that day and they needed no further comments.

I said something like: Approve this ETF. Not to make Bitcoin more relevant, but to keep the SEC relevant.

I'm sure they read that and decided "approved".

Not the same guy. Just that there are now 2 Chris Taylors on The List.

2 Chris Taylors? What are the odds?

[Searing]

I left checking prices for last few days and it is above $8000 now. What is the reason ?

my only conclusion, after 5 years plus in BTC is that the current Bitcoin rise in price is due to: "Unicorn Fairy Farts" or UFF.


The UFF factor seems strong this month, IMHO.

No idea, but not astronomical. Maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe it's the first collision in the moronosphere.

Haha good find. This guy seems like a complete fucking idiot.

Blockchain doesn't solve everything. It doesn't solve entirely problems that couldn't be solved in other ways. But we believe blockchain solves the problems that we're solving in a better way than traditional database technology can provide.

Yeah that's a relevant point. Gold isn't really the safe haven asset it used to be, and it's just been slipping further and further into the abyss. The only use for it nowadays is jewellery and wedding gifts.

Crypto is interesting because it was conceived as a tool for decentralized exchange, but now it's becoming a hedge. Traders are getting into it because of the huge movements that it has, and more and more people are looking at it as an investment tool or a place to hide away money that they don't want to be taxed. That's also why there;s all this buzz about the ETF conception as well I think.
