To counter the FUD, the most important news of the day is actually something unrelated to Gox and Vietnam.

Also an article on Coindesk linked above

am I reading that right ? only $20K invested in Bitcoin, but is the first step which is positive.... also I wonder what do they think about this investment today if they bought at an average of 900

Those figures are in millions...

they bought these today??

No, last year

then it doesnt matter..

Fortress are not idiots. They wouldn't have purchased an asset like this unless they believed they would get at least 5-10x return

Yes, they are idiots. even markets proved them idiots.

this.

they are bag hodlers now.

Lol even if it goes to zero, they don't really care about $20m

fortress invested a total of 364 Billion ? ah what are you smoking

1,000k does not make a billion. what are you smoking?

1,000k does not make a billion. what are you smoking?

yes I was wrong, millions they corrected me before, but still 20 million invested in Bitcoin at an average of 900, come one the are total pigs, price is going up buy buy buy.... hahahaah

[dreamspark]

20 million is pocket change, thats what people dont understand about how this si still super early stages of adoption. Once a few big players like this invest we're going parabolic again. When that happends though is another matter entirely !

And where would they trade $20m worth of bitcoin so easily?

[mmitech]

this will effect the price instantly if they would be buying from exchanges, but most likely they wont, and I still want to know how to purchase 10k bitcoins off exchanges and how they work out the price...

This is what a takeover looks like.

Real money wants in. Thanks, kids, for coming up with this here “Bitcoin” – we get it now. You’ve shown that it’s so robust and useful that even the incompetent and the illegal can take it to $10Bn. Now kindly leave and let us take it from here.

That letter from the Next Money Representative 5 left MK hanging out to dry. He thought they would help, but they just supplied a coup de grace. They want a clear-out and to bring in a legislative framework. They’re building acceptance, so the unacceptable need to go.

Short term, the media and banks will crucify the ecosystem. This will cover the smart money accumulation phase. Some here will hand over their coins in exchange for a car or a house. That’s fine, and it’s a shame others got burned, but there’s a handover going and a little turbulence is to be expected.

We’re heading out of beta.

[Serge]

moving roughly initial 22k coins on exchanges is not such a big deal, ofc it makes impact but nothing drastic if not dumping/buying all at once

[yrtrnc]

the chief editor of a major german economic newssite "Handelsblatt-online" said publicly that

-bitcoin was hacked
-forged bitcoins are circulating
-the central bank of bitcoin (mtgox) went bankrupt

WOW, german speaker here, this video is unreal!

i have given up MSM for some time, but i would never expect the head of whichever regional paper to fabricate such an, almost satirical, factually wrong and uneducated statement with such a straight, 'convinced' look in his eyes. i am not trying to be abusive here, but i think this guy is mentally ill or retarded.

don't forget, bad advertisement is still advertisement, bad advertisement is an art, in fact I was talking to a friend who works in Media which told me that some bad advertisement are intended to suck so hard to leaves a huge impression, mostly new brands adopt this type.... because you are new and you need to be remembered and searched for, legit advertisement will take so long to bring results, horrible advertisement if done smartly will have instant effect.

What do you know about their reasoning, information and timeframes? So far you are the only one proving yourself as such.
