The (alleged) Gox ATH was within a couple of $ of gold parity back in 2013 IIRC. I won't be surprised if we stall there. The media will jump on it and the FOMO will be huge if we top it - it's the 'no argument' ATH - and then Gold parity too?. It will be news, big news. But maybe some people won't want to see that. Popcorn time!

It's debatable if GOX can be called an ATH, since it was fake coins and you couldn't withdraw coins or FIAT at that time.

Yeah it looks a bit like that right?! Funny is that many people do not seem to recognize or do not really care that we made new ATHs again. Maybe they all are waiting for $2000 or a final SEC decision, I don't know.

The gold market has been fully developed for millennia. That's a deeply silly comparison. GLD probably hasn't done gold any favours though. I wonder whether a Bitcoin ETF will do the same.

I read this article the other day.. my opinion of it? Its basically a big steaming pile of horseshit. He reckons bitcoin is at a binary crossroads waiting for news of the ETF - Extrapolated further. the very survival of bitcoin depends on ETF approval? And then he finishes by saying: "The digital currency's future has never been this binary. Unlike with programming code, though, one of the two alternatives isn't zero: It's a deeply negative number." You can pay heed to this article if you like.. but my immediate thoughts after reading it were: idiot.

Well, one big difference, and what would be absolutely critical for Bitcoin ETFs and Trusts moving forward, is 100% on-demand transparent auditing of holdings. That has to be a thing, and it should be trivial and built-in. If Bitcoin exchanges and brokers can expose it easily (well some have chosen to anyway), then COIN or any of the other ETFs should be able to make that happen on any given Sunday. Otherwise it'll just become like Gold ETFs long term.... no transparency, no proof of holdings, fractional reserve trading, naked short-selling, etc.

It's eminently achievable but I'm not sure enough future newcomers will care about that. I can foresee them being offered Bitcoin or crypto trackers even when there are auditable alternatives. All most people care about is a rising number. There are enough snake oil salespeople to lay that on while it lasts. The KNCminer ETN is backed by real coins but that's a purely voluntary action as far as I can tell. Future ones won't be.
