I'm sure many on here can guess who those individuals are....

Standard Bank of South Africa is currently looking to integrate bitcoin into their banking network. Its the greatest news for the bitcoin community but i'm afraid someone have just blown that chance up. This wild swing market full of pigs will scare the executives away when they're evaluating bitcoin.

I was hoping our community would have seen a bigger picture and not be manipulated so easily.

The bank already said the pilot ended and they are not gonna proceed further. You should start reading the newsfeed of ZeroBlock more often.

Bankers aren't any more greedy than bitcoin is a currency for drugs. Bitcoin is a currency. Currencies can be used to buy drugs. Bankers are people. People are greedy! And that's why a Bitcoin is worth anything at all.

this is what happens when 1 individual has 10% share of the market and 10 others another 20-30%. I would dump too. I have been saying this, nobody listened.

That's ok, after they dump shares are distributed more evenly.

This is call a correction, welcome to finance. Also bitcoin is about being YOUR OWN bank, we don't bankers here.

Its not about banking with bitcoin. If bitcoin is integrated in a multinational banking network such as Standardbank, it opens the gate for bitcoin adoption. No body tell you to keep your Bitcoin there. Dont be a fool.

It seems you are the greedy one now. My views are about a pure bitcoin system, banks aren't in that. Remember this is only been 5 years we have plenty of time for adoption. Just cause you want your 0.000001 BTCs to be worth $40K tomorrow isn't going to happen this takes time.

Go live in a la la land if you think ..... pooft everyone gonna use strictly bitcoin as medium of exchange. Its never gonna be like that. Without gateways for fiat coming in and out, whos gonna use bitcoin?

Right now those gateways are exchanges..... unregulated/nontransparent exchanges. They're worse than banksters..... infact many of them are straight thieves.

Let's not kid ourselves, bitcoin isn't even ready for mainstream adoption. It's not even out of beta yet.

Isn't that the reason for mass adoption... that you won't need fiat? Once it's been adopted it means you will be able to go to your local store and pay directly with bitcoin without a need for fiat at all. You seem to really believe in a need for fiat currency... why is that?

Oh... and THIS^^^

Soriouscoin you think the banks are ever going to adopt it? As soon as they look at it closely, they realise it's here to replace them... they're not going to want to play with.

The sad thing is that half of these newbs getting involved seem to want to be. They don't care about Bitcoin; they just want to get rich quick, and then they'll probably act like rich bankers and blow it all on drugs and shit.

the OP thinks that the price dropping from over $1000 to the prices it sits at now is a bad thing?

if gold went from $1310 an oz to lets say $600, you really think everyone would be running away from gold, or towards it?

the same applies to bitcoin.

+1! Precisely why Bitcoin is still in the mid $600's! Because people are running towards it! With the amount of negative news just in the last week alone, the fact that Bitcoin is holding up like it is is a testimony to how strong it is, IMHO!

Yep, looks like it's reached a stage where it's cheap enough again... the buys are flowing in quite nicely now, staying above 600... even with mountainofcocks trading at nearly half Smiley
