Bitcoin @ MIT

[UglyTroll]

Come on man, don't be jealous, haha

[Catastrough]

Though I do think that it would be very interesting to do 'Bitcoin MIT' in the equivalent university in the UK, Germany, China, India and so forth. If we want Bitcoin to become truly global, and not just an American phenomena that is.

It's interesting what MIT is doing. I don't think it will substantially raise the price, but it is good all around for the community. There needs to be bigger projects to impact the price.

The MIT project was aimed to popularize Bitcoin. Raising the exchange rates was not one of its objectives. Once Bitcoin gets popular among the general population, the exchange rate will automatically increase.

lol.... Snax had his 2 minutes of fame. Now we can all add his name to the ignore list. And WTF CalTech has to do with the Bitcoin give-aways? Who cares whether they rank better than the MIT or not? CalTech fanboys can suck Buffet's ####.

Having a highly prestigious university such as MIT speak about bitcoins is very significant in terms of the worldview. This is reason why I suspect that the value of bitcoins increased 25% within the last three weeks.

Anyone from just about anywhere in the world probably has heard of MIT.

Who is MIT?

I watched the whole conference. If you want a brief summary (or video link) check bitprize.org
In general there were 4 topics: intro, legal and technical. The last part shows a starting information on how to make bitcoin products/services, which is the most interesting. If you are in the US, then the legal part is also very interesting  

Price influence is long term. From a presentation:



We are now in the early adaptors phase according to one of the presenters, so we are in the investors, crypto-anarchists or the creators.   If you are a day trader this has no influence.

Very nice, i think i were in the cripto anarchist phase in mid 2013 when bitcoin was 100 usd because some people made fun of me for having coins , any time before 2013 was the tech entusiast
