The US Government auctioned the coins now because it is not supposed to hold on to seized property. This is a factual error. The USG often retains seized property and uses it as it sees fit. It's one of the perks of being allowed to seize property. If you like something, you take it. If they can't afford a law suit to get it back, it's all candy. I stand corrected: they are not supposed to hold on to property which they cannot use for public good in some way. (Note, "supposed to", of course.) |

Typically when wealthy people are targeted in this way, it turns out badly for law enforcement. Although rarely as badly as it should. |

Those "regulated Bitcoin exchanges" on Wall Street are going to do to the price of Bitcoin what they do to the price of gold.
They'll be happy to take your real Bitcoins and give you dollars they borrowed into existence, and they'll be happy to give you paper Bitcoins for your Dollars, but when it comes time to actually redeem your paper Bitcoins for real ones it will turn out they won't have any.
Just like how the NY Fed doesn't have Germany's gold.

I think it's pretty clear that we're going to remain flat or slightly downward for the next few weeks or months. There are way too many market players who -- for whatever reason -- are doing their best to keep the price low. It doesn't matter. Within a few short years, anyone holding 10 bitcoins or more will be able to retire and live out their lives on a tropical island if they so choose.

The Winklevoss ETF is not yet selling shares, is it?
Can US citizens/residents buy shares of SMBIT and PBP? (AFAIK, SMBIT must explicitly authorize each client, and shares cannot be sold or transferred without their authorization. Do they authorize if the client is a US resident?)

I had understood that NASDAQ or other "Wall Street exchanges" would let people trade shares of bitcoin based investment funds like SMBIT and the Winklevoss ETF, not bitcoins directly. Or are there plans to have both? |

More like a single hand trying to "fit" the figure. But it is now starting to look more like your theory about the bearish pennant was correct because Houbi hardly took notice. |

I know it's hard to believe some people want to let their bitcoins go, but it happens. I mean the 51% business, and the auction are enough for some selling. It feels similar to the front run on China fud, which was for the most part just a game of whack a mole with deposit method and chains. Just do your part and drink a 24 of beer. |
