Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Greece comes down to one thing.

In 2005 their debt/GDP ratio went over 100%, within 4 years their economy was in a freefall. By 2010 they got bailed out by the EU but the debt/GDP is still over 100%. Not much you can do until that is fixed (or they go bankrupt which is more likely).


Btw...the US debt/GDP ration went over 100% this year...

well it can't be obama's fault!

I think that most ppl always overestimate the change that will occur in the next few years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten.

Yup.  

Fixed the time frame.

I agree with this one, thx man.

Both of you misread me.  I said Bitcoin, not BTCeanie BTCabies.
Yeah, the BTCeanie BTCabies thing is still on the launchpad & is going to explode (err... you know what I mean) as soon as we shake out the weak hands and shake down the get-rich-quick kids (good riddance!) -- agree 200%.

In the mean time, I couldn't care less about BTCeanie prices--I'm in this for the long haul

He was talking about his daily blood sugar levels, not btc/usd price.

The reforms mentioned are many, but a good example would be the "Praxisgebühr", where you had to pay 10€ each quarter when you went to a doctor. It helped stabilize Germans healthcare system, even if it was only in effect for a few years.

Quite the opposite; it helped weaken it. Look it up for yourself: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxisgeb%C3%BChr#Folgen_der_Praxisgeb.C3.BChr. The stated goal was reduced visits to a doctor. It failed to archieve even that after a bit more than three years. Since then, the number of visits per inhabitant of Germany was even higher than before the introduction. Even worse, it turned out that it was effectively a tax on the poor, as poor people tended to go visit the doctor even less, especially for preventive cancer examinations by dermatologists and gynecologists (numbers are in the source). The effect will be rising cancer treatments in the future, which will be way more expensive than the savings from the examinations.

Practically every one of the reforms was economically short sighted and will do more harm than good in the long run - exactly as Germany's treatment of Greece  right now.

man, you really should read your cited source again (and maybe some others, since you have absolutely no clue when you can only cite wikipedia...). for clarification; one of the goals was to get the health insurance agencies from red to black, since nearly all German "Krankenkassen" were in the red from 1993-2003 (with a debt of 650 million € in 2003 alone). That goal was accomplished partially through it.
Preventive examinations were free, if not you could get them back partially from your agency. The goal to reduce visits to a doctor was partially achieved, since the goal stated that people should go to a "Hausarzt" before going to a specialist... But hey, it was just an example.

Bullish? At any rate, it's about time there was some action in this sector. Seems a perfect match.
