Gox Gox
can somebody explain me why in hell so many ppl kept their coins there after march 2013?
old accounts created back when all you needed was an anonymous throw away email account to sign up...can't really do that anymore Ah. Is that the reason why so many people are so anxious to save MtGOX, even with a radical haircut on their balances, rather than liquidating it? This video with Andreas Antonopoulos and Stefan Molyneux goes into the Bitcoin community's attachment to Gox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzwWIDIVSTo |

Ofcourse the usercount is going to become more stable in future, at some point the market is going to become saturated and the amount of new users getting into bitcoin each day will start to decrease until we reach a stable base. The usercount can't increase linearly or exponentially forever, I'm sure you would have to agree with that as well. So the increase in usercount will slow down as well as the amount of new coins and thus we are going to reach a state of equilibrium eventually. It's just a matter of time.
I don't see it like that. The nature of bitcoin itself keeps any stability from forming when taking into account the price and the amount of users. The main thing (almost the only thing) that attracts people to bitcoin, are promises, that if they buy now, then they can sell later with a lot higher price. That creates this situation where stability is impossible because as soon as the situation becomes stable, then people won't get what they came for and they will start selling/leaving. Bitcoin has to be either on a rise or dropping, there is no stable middle ground. The fundamental flaw here is that a currency shouldn't be attractive as an speculative investment. It ruins the stability, and stability is the main quality of an good currency. A currency should be unattractive as an investment, so it will only be used to transfer wealth and not be considered as a source of wealth by itself. |

Bitcoin is an investment that is surrounded by cult behavior, would be my answer to that question. |

User count is going to stabilize at some point, and will become lower than the actual BTC inflation rate. I see no reason why that wouldn't lead to price stability (not in USD terms perhaps but that's because USD is actually not stable at all).
It's hard to believe that the usercount will stop and stay stable. In my idea, it will more probably either increase or decrease. But what remains the same is that the inflow of new coins will slow down and get more expensive. All of it combined will keep bitcoin far away from stability. Good news for day traders. Yeah, exactly! Most of the people are here because they are interested in buying low and selling high, so they can make a easy buck. People aren't here because bitcoin is a practical currency for everyday use. It's all good fun, but bitcoin can't become a serious financial tool because of that. But, I think that the idea of open sourced and transparent monetary system, that is supported by the internet, is very important and it is the future. Bitcoin is just financially too simplistic to do the job. Something more complex has to be made to create a practical currency, that follows the same open source rules of transparency. 2013 called, he wants his "bitcoin will never be a serious currency" argument back. Markets need buyers and sellers. Price discovery, liquidity, market makers, all that. We're still in a volatile pre-IPO-like phase, one that is traditionally not available to regular investors. I'm thinking longer term. |

I dont know if anyone of you got this, and I dont know if this is legit ( I didnt open the attachment yet) in the german forum they say it is a scam, do not open attachment. Habs gezogen. Der DL-Link liefert ein .rar-Archiv aus, entpackt man dies, ist dort (ein) Standard-Windows- Malware(-Dropper) drin. Die entpackte Malware-Datei ist im .scr-Format, also diesem binären Windows Bildschirmschonerformat zur Verschleierung ihrer Ausführbarkeit. Naja, auch schon 100 Jahre alt der Trick. Die Malware ist nicht mal richtig gecrypted und wird sogar von Anti-Virus-Software erkannt. Siehe, folgende Analyse zum Download: https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/da830f7ac2455295e0c8aa11f3a3092989c3e4b887f0fcffd510fc783771ab13/analysis/Standard, lamer Kram. |
