He's bullish. Maybe he's eating cheap coins! Our own Jorge Stolfi seems pretty concerned about that investment fund for someone with only an academic interest in the subject... |

Everyone should buy while you can. Monday expect a jump when fresh fiat hits the exchanges

I was just speaking with a friend about this. Bitstamp opened Friday night here. For many people there was no way to fund from their bank. Should be a good rush Monday |

That was a rhetorical quesiton, right? he was CEO of SecondMarket and still is CEO (or whatever) of SecondMarket's BIT fund. The frauds and crimes are the features of this "industry" that I find most entertaining. Danny Brewster story, for example, would be too ridiculously unbelievable if it was a a work of fiction. I have been following closely MtGOX, AMT miners, BFL, GAWminers, BitcoinRain, ... SecondMarket is the only bitcoin fund for which we have day-by-day investment data, thanks to the user who monitors it and maintains the thread devoted to it. Too bad that we don't have similar threads for PBP and the other funds. I don't even know how much investment PBP got. Nor GABI, Exante, ... As you may know, SM BIT has suspended withdrawals (redemptions, liquidations) since last October. With a good excuse, of course. EDIT: And I am not invested in any fund or venture related to any cryptocoin either. |

Bitcoin is a wonder, but she makes and breaks men faster than silver |

I see bitcoin as a computer technology experiment, that was appropriated by various groups and pushed as something that it was never intended to be, and is nowhere ready to be. |

Nice jump by litecoin today. Wonder if we might see a similar move by bitcoin soon. Still think the long term bear market is with us, though. But not shorting this level, for sure.

I see bitcoin as a computer technology experiment, that was appropriated by various groups and pushed as something that it was never intended to be, and is nowhere ready to be. Agreed. Edit. As a rule I dislike Libertarianism, mostly as it has been co-opted by the right, but I was drawn to Bitcoin for purely political reasons; I think the world needs slightly more liberty than it currently has. Unfortunately as it stands crypto just seems clumsy and liable to hurt anyone who goes near it |

Zoom out to the 30 min chart, and it will not look so nice... |

None especially at the moment, but Paycoin seems interesting, perhaps it will be even more interesting than Neo & Bee. I had great hopes for Brock Pierce's RealCoin, but I have never heard of it again. I wonder if Autumn Radtke was working on one. Perhaps Sergei Mavrodi will launch something, now that he is in the Bitcoin Foundation? |
