Quoting before it disappears? This is just ridiculous...
None of us at Bitfinex take advantage of any inside information, and each of us monitors each other to make sure that we are behaving ethically. However, how would we go about obtaining bitcoin? We work hard to build a good exchange, because we believe in bitcoin, so we should go trade on another exchange? I have known Phil a long time, and he is extremely ethical. I, for one, use bitcoin in order to withdraw my paycheck. I usually place a small market order once a month, but I have no idea what the state of hidden orders are, or whether the market is going up or down, and I don't much care about those things. I need to convert a certain amount of dollars into the equivalent amount of bitcoin, so I just buy some bitcoin.
I'm not sure how this works in the "real world", but I am pretty sure that someone who works at Nasdaq can still trade stocks that are listed on Nasdaq. They aren't getting any special information, or access to a VIP service, but they still probably have a retirement account, or something along those lines, and still have investments. I don't think that because someone works at Nasdaq, they cannot own Apple shares in their retirement account. So, I am beyond annoyed that people think that someone who is interested in bitcoin enough to work in the bitcoin space, surprise, surprise, buys bitcoin...what is the alternative, that everyone interested in bitcoin enough to work in that space cannot use their own product?
Anyway, I think most people have enough experience with Bitfinex to know that we value our reputation as a fair place to trade, and specifically keep rules in place that cost us money because we think that the benefits of a fair marketplace far outweigh the small short term gains of cheating. I've been a big fan of bitfinex since before I started working here, and I haven't closed my account just because I got a job here.

Well, it seems that we had an unplanned experiment that should allow us to answer the question: "What is the effect of this thread on the prce of bitcoin".
Conclusions?

Great news for Bitcoin Bill Gates doesn't give a shit about it.  HAHAHAHAHA Once again i'm right, but the bagholders won't listen. First it was BBVA (Coinbase investor), now Bill Gates. Big players will attach their names to it to get some attention and then they will get rid of this unusable VirtuaTulip 10 minutes delay trash currency. Keep scooping up the cheap coins. Buy them, Hodl them and if they get to 2 digits, tell yourself that you are a long-term investor. |

I spotted another billboards with Bitcoin signs on them yesterday driving. So that's at least 3 huge Braintree_Paypal signs in SF.
1. Right before the Bay Bridge to the ->. 2. Coming into SF on the 101 where the Bit Torrent billboard was has been replaced with a Braintree sign. The big B like the one I've taken a picture of isn't on this board. On the <- 3. South of Fremont headed towards San Jose. On the <- headed south. |

Keep scooping up the cheap coins. considering microsoft has a stake in ripple but to be fair he had ripple in the same boat as bitcoin but then again microsoft has never been very big on anything "open sourced" so to speak at least at the beginning  one thing that DOES give me hope about BTC is the more or less (imho) even split amongst the famous/experts/tech/public policy types of if it is here to stay or not 50/50 for and against BTC..so at least we are all in the same boat from expert to novice...no one has any frigging idea...so take your bets...me I'm holding my 'soon' when my KNC Titan mines to doorstop status eventually of around 65 BTC ...so flip a coin....and skip the hype.....as good a guess as my holding or someone else dumping at this point in time imho |
