About East Europe: they are perhaps the piece of land with the most unrealized economic potential on the whole planet.

Sure, but the euro is going to drain it all away from the people there..

Come on UK, join us

wasnt there a debate about simply leaving the EU recently?

[JorgeStolfi]

Well i didnt mean to offense anyone and i do respect all countries but this exactly the problem:  who is going to suffer from such radical shift in their currency (from worthless to 1,4$)? hum? The local people.

The exchange rate is irrelevant, what matters is whether banks and government can survive without issuing new money.  (The Italian lira was worth a fraction of a penny when Italy switched to euro, yet Italians did not suffer more than Germans with the conversion.)

and brits are much clever than US and EU. Why do you think they kept their currency? 

What?!? But... they eat boiled tomatos at breakfast, and spread mint jelly on their meat...

Hum serioulsy wtf, you live in brasil right? You can talk about south america i wont argue with you but this comparaison between germany who had the deutschmark exchanged at approx 1/1 with the euro and the lazy italians with their pizza currency is foolish. They had it much worse, just look at their god damn situation right now. And believe me italians are pissed with this euro.

Cant agree more im french but taste has nothing to do with monetary sovereignty.


edit: i was telling this in some other thread but since it's relevant, a heard that in portugal (hello euro), the saving accounts in Espirito Santo that were inactives for the last 2 years had been half-cleared.

And believe me italians are pissed with this euro.

I'm Italian and i'm not pissed with the Euro. And i'm not lazy either. I like playing pasta and eating mandolinos.

Oh, now I get your name.

Italian cuisine is master race cuisine. Italian liquors though are... meh, at best.

There, I said it

but i maintain that italians are in majority pissed about the euro/EU. kinda same as they were with berlusconi.

Well, this is not 19th century mexico. But no offense taken, i understand it must be hard to think rationally with all that cheese everywhere (jk, buddy )

August 31, Apple news of possibly supporting NFC in next iPhone release seemed to affect BTC on the price charts (490's to 470's).  

Re: http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-amex-teaming-on-iphone-6-payments-system-report-says/

Is the price built in already?  Or will we take another dive going into the official Tuesday announcement of the iPhone 6?

Actually, Grappa isn't half bad, imo.

It's the limoncello (and similar super sweet liquors) I despise. Liquid toothpaste, I'm telling ya!

Apple coming up with a mobile payment solution is overall actually good news for Bitcoin imho. People will have less fear using their mobile device for payments when Apple succeeds and Bitcoin will become just another option and not the "funny internet money for hackers" with the advantage of not needing a CC or trusting a third party. And dont't forget network effects when everybody starts unsing their smartphone to pay.

Funny how you turn my bearish thoughts about this apple thing into bullish thoughts.
Hopefully not confirmation bias

Continuing my pessimism:
this would not be a bad time to open a short, since we are failing in a 2nd push upwards.  The pattern has been a 3-4% fall after failures to rally.

DOGE with a massive spike today. It finally broke its long term down trend. As stupid as some of you may think the coin is, its a great sign for the entire crypto market as a whole. Let's hope it holds because less liquid alts can show signs of a market wide reversal long before BTC can.
