Furthermore, the researchers found that the bitcoin whitepaper was drafted using Latex, an open-source document preparation system. Latex is also used by Szabo for all his publications.
Rats, I thought that avoiding double-space-after-punctuation was enough. Does anyone out there know of some other open-source document prepration system that is not much worse than Latex? |

You do seem to be raving at this point Jorge. It's kind of sad.
He's obviously frustrated he'll need to return the party supplies he bought in preparation of Bitcoin hitting zero. I wonder if all his bias, assumptions, and poor judgment will appear in the peer-reviewed conclusion of his "academic research." That's funny and of course he's having a gross conceptual error, but China still leads until it doesn't. If you think his head is exploding, you should see the economist professors of the Keynesian and Monetarist schools. This is their field, and according to their models, Bitcoin is a flying unicorn that just shouldn't exist. |

So Jorge can now run people through the risk of bitcoin before they purchase, he'll be like a warning disclaimer.
I read somewhere that there was a guy sitting next to a bitcoin ATM (in North America, IIRC), offering better deals than the ATM. |

Perhaps you can spin this to your advantage a bit, Jorge, and after retirement you can while away your time sitting beside a Bitcoin ATM informing users of the latest Chinese exchange prices. Of course by then you will be accepting Bitcoin tips. |

And the (apparently) best-informed description of the Chinese bitcoin traders that I have seen was not on Coindesk or Bloomberg, but on the Christian Monitor, of all sources.
If you follow the informal meetups and presentations people give around the world, you would have known months before October that Chinese funds were poring in to Bitcoin. One cant expect the media to react to that before it was news. The only news worth noting in china will come from an official Chinese news source and it will start something like this; In the best interest of the Chinese people... My statistical analysis shows that your contributions to this tread has increased the correlation with price in China. It appears to me the price in China is irrelevant, it it is 7% or above the west I will find a way to pay suppliers via Bitcoin, if it is below I will pay suppliers in Fiat, and the free market will arbitrage the coins back. |

Yes it was here in Vancouver, the owner chose to hire a musician paid minimum wage to tell the ATM poachers to piss off, the coffee shop owner permitted it because he got live music. |

Still bullish if nobody uses it? By the way, The former owner of MercadoBitcoin, the company that set up that ATM, was also the creator of BitcoinRain, a Brazilian ponzi that collapsed after allegedly taking some 12,000 bitcoins from investors. According to the then-owner, a hacker invaded MercadoBitcoin and stole all the BitcoinRain funds --- by COINcidence, just after they received a major withdrawal request. That person later sold MercadoBitcoin to other people, who naturally do not see themselves responsible for the losses of BitcoinRain's clients. |

Celebratory queue outside Latin America's first ever Bitcoin ATM. Apparently the government needed to helicoptor-in some water for the crowd.  The preceding image and text are merely an artist's rendering of an interpretation of a dream. It may not be founded in reality. In fact it could be construed in entirety as delirious fabrication. |

Someone requested a wall observation, so here is one. At Kraken BTC/EUR there is a 33 buy wall (that is quite a bit on Kraken). When the price hit 374 EUR that triggered a 35 BTC dump @ market. Very strange. I think that was ment to have triggered a 35 BTC buy instead  I want to buy into that wall but I have no fiat left |
