Peter talks about btc prices on Mt. Gox vs Bitstamp.  He admittedly doesn't understand why they're different.  He takes some calls on it.

Both of those links are to the same audio.
Fixed.  Thank you.

It's a really good threads you have here, please keep it up.
Thanks!  Peter talked a little yesterday (2/17) about it but nothing new.  A couple callers on it but they had nothing to add.  Pointless for me to post it.

Added more audio.  I got a little behind.  He ranted last Thurs/Fri.  But yesterday (2/25) was especially good.  There was a good caller on too.  Told Peter how he turned 10 btc into 300 by trading.  Peter quickly called it gambling, funny!

Mt. Gox and Peter...

Nothing new.  I haven't posted much recently because he keeps saying the same thing over and over.  Bitcoin is a bubble, it has no intrinsic value, etc...

Can't think of a witty response, Mr. President?  Or have you finally decided you have better things to do than attend class?
I'm not following you?

Peter Schiff and the mythological belief in "intrinsic value" that he and others have is discussed with Tuur Demeester on the most recent episode of the Ed and Ethan show:

Bitcoins, like precious metals, don't need backing because they are scarce.  It's paper, which is not scarce, that needs to be backed with something like gold or bitcoins that are limited in supply.

Everybody laughed at him all the way up until the housing crisis occurred.  People are laughing at him now regarding the crash of USD.  Now all of the people that laughed at him won't even talk to him.  The whole bitcoin community laughs at him.  I think he's right.  Bitcoin is a bubble.  Peter says, "If it looks like a bubble, walks like a bubble, and quacks like a bubble, it's probably a bubble.  And if there's one thing I know, it's bubbles."  When/if bitcoin goes main stream, all of the early adopters holding hundreds or thousands of bitcoins will cash out all at once.  Then it will crash.  Bitcoin is a means to something greater.  Only time and ingenuity will tell what that is.

And keep in mind that Peter doesn't really accept bitcoin for gold.  He uses bitpay.

I don't think the whole community laughs at him, more like they are sad that he can't understand it. To him bitcoin is a ponzi scheme and he has long been an outspoken critic of it. He does not merely say it is in a bubble, which even some bitcoiners may at times agree with, but that it has no value at all.

He still believes in the political process and that the way to fix the system is to reform it from the inside.  He thinks the solution is to just get the right people into power.  He seems to prefer "top down" solutions over "bottom up" solutions.  He even flushed a lot of his own money down the toilet on a run for the Senate a few years ago.

He believes in limited government.  He believes in a gold standard.  He believes the only job of government is to protect life, liberty, and property.  No more, no less.  There are a lot of problems with our gov, no doubt.  But I think the fact that Peter consistently puts his money where his mouth is says a lot about his integrity.  He's no hypocrit, far from it.
