The front page of ripple.com, filled with testimonials from banksters and former traders of goldman sachs doesn't instill any confidence, more like a confirmation of legally lobbied fraud. Fraud is rampant. Both in governmentally regulated and banking sector sanctioned fraud, and also in the unregulated fringe elements running bitcoin scams. The main difference is that with a public ledger fraud could be made transparent and ineffectual, whereas the current "legally sanctioned" fraud is unassailable under the current state. Interesting times... Perhaps the "fringe elements" are government funded. If a government (or any other entity) was serious about destroying bitcoin, posing as a "bad actor" would be an effective, and efficient strategy.

they already dumped their bags during the 'chinese panic' flash dumps . Everything is fine until people start to try to withdraw funds. All these centralized exchanges operate like a black box and no one, other than the exchange operators, knows what's what. If you don't control your keys, you don't actually *own* the bitcoins. Just like shares in an etf or company, just like deposits in a bank, just like off shores properties. If you don't hold it, you don't own it. Everything is fine until it's not.

And even if you "own" your bitcoins, then you still have absolutely no control over their value. Playing with bitcoin is gambling, that's out of your control, either way.

But also consider that you have no *direct* control over the value of your dollars either. * unless you're the director of the central bank, or friends of the director, or connected in some way to that group of elites that own shares in the federal reserve... Where do I go to find a list of those individuals again? I can't seem to find it anywhere?

Not many coins available to short so it's gonna get interesting It would be true, unless some markets allow naked shorts, or provide fractional reserves... But no reputable markets would allow that! Right?
