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

Maybe people just don't like them. Or maybe people don't want to contribute to making little Harvard elitist thieves even richer. How many yachts do those little scumbags really need anyway?

If everyone was like you nobody would use Bitcoin. Comments like this make me want to sell all my Bitcoins and never look back again.

Maybe that's why adoption hasn't been as fast as you would all like. Any news is good news, right?

Crypto-currency could actually be quite good for banks.  They'd love a way around credit cards.  Not good for credit card companies, remittance companies, etc.  I don't think credit card companies know how to respond, still.

Permissioned Blockchain

Interesting!

A recent post on the Clearmatics website, titled “No, Bitcoin is not the future of securities settlement,” provides a point-by-point analysis of the original Bitcoin whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto from the point of view of the financial establishment, and a clear outline of the reasons why banks and mainstream financial institutions won’t touch permissionless blockchain networks like Bitcoin.

Let them bumble around in the dark if they wish. Eventually they too will find the light switch.

Maybe people are buying for reasons you/we don't know about.

Sometimes someone actually needs coins to buy 'somethings'.

I don't think 5 USD price rises are anything to think too deeply about. The price has been fairly stable for a while now, we don't need to look for reasons why it's gone up such a small amount.

Larry Summers, the former Harvard University president, isn't hiding his disdain for the Winklevoss twins -- the notorious pair who started their feud with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg while the three were students at the school under Summers.

"One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they're an asshole. This was the latter case, ” Summers said at the conference. "Rarely, have I encountered such unfounded swagger, and I tried to respond in kind.

Wow if your former college professor calls you an asshole you've really should be looked at by a shrink, perhaps bordeline or some other socipoathic disorder.
Those are generally the most liking people out there, I can't imagine how the average person would react.

Nope. Nothing to see here.

Of course not. Bitcoin is much more than that. There's..... wait.... hold on... you know....ringtones?

Regardless of whether the description fits the bill, Larry Summers sounds a bit like an unprofessional asshole as well. He was in charge of Rich Spoiled Brats Uni, of course there's a lot of assholes in those corridors. The smell of manure alone probably entitles them to some kind of farm subsidy. Is he keeping track of all of the asswipes there, or only the ones that can put him on telly?

Nah, being spoiled or having prestige doesn't make you an asshole on it's own, if so the world would be far worse off than it is.
But I'm not that of a pessimist.
