I can't wait for IBM's Bitcoin killer. Bullish!
Isn't this only for blockchain technology? I tought it wasn't related to currency. They recently did a proof of concept for Internet of Things devices: https://youtu.be/U1XOPIqyP7AWhat I don't get: How will be their "blockchain" secured? (without decentralised miners) by the same way that facebook is secured without decentralized miners and things? But then, man, it has nothing, NOTHING, to do with Bitcoin, and then, man, it's centralized! (But they say it's decentralized!) EDIT: And they say it's blockchain from Bitcoin and ethereum, it just makes no sense!

I'm sure a small company like IBM can write something better without taking too much longer.

If they have managed to solve the double spending problem without any need of decentralized participants/players (e.g. miners) then Bitcoin would become instantly useless.

Well Blockstream has Rusty Russell from IBM on board, so maybe they're working on a behind the scenes-sidechain concept.

From early April to the end of May, the going rate for a bitcoin rose from 86 cents to $8.89. That was in 2011. Usually get some nice pumps this time of year.. Just saying. Bitcoin just keeps playing the same tune over and over. People still refuse to catch on. LOL

Like rings in water, while holders (the real bitcoiners) expand, the ratio of non-enthusiastic get-rich-quickers to holders are constant.

That was never a problem: with a trusted centrally managed server network, is trivial to avoid double-spends, it is basic database application. The problem that was open for 10-20 years, and that Satoshi hoped to solve with the bitcoin protocol, was avoiding double-spends without a trusted centrally managed network. That is why bitcoin has miners, proof-of-work, and mining rewards.

Getting an urge to go leverage long with my 50 btc play stash. Must. Not. Give. In. I think there's a bit more downside (sorry guys). Technically things aren't looking great unless you can call this low volume chopping around a bottom--I can't. 3d macd solidly in the red. Daily chart bear flag in the works looking a bit foreboding. Whales seem intent on getting a panic shakeout near 200s or lower. Save your longs until then when everyone's freaking out.

Yep, that is a greater than 1 million dollar buy wall sitting on Coinbase since Friday. Someone would have to sell over 7k BTC to see $220 flat.

Good morning Bitcoinland.
Not surprisingly, we're still going sideways in the $220s.
Volume remains excruciatingly low and the only real wall is that absurdity on Coinbase, which seems to be waiting to be eaten by arb-bots.
Monday should be fun. _____
Just to add my 2 satoshis to the post-deletion dialog, I had a couple deleted myself, including the 3 word message "Thank you Adam" that I posted when I thought he'd just cleaned up some troll spam.
I guess it wasn't him after all.
