I think this news is more bullish for bitcoin than the eBay stuff

Okay, so let's help the banks some more and lend at negative interest rates. I'm seriously starting to consider central banks are the closest thing to evil on this planet. Why are they tolerated?

This is why I don't keep any money in the bank. They are a necessary evil in order to get money in and out of bitcoin right now, but at least that's me taking advantage of them and not the other way around.

definitely more bullish than ebay. Besides the eBay stuff might just be a marketing play and I doubt will be implemented within 2014.

ECB news? Instant.

EU traders can just switch to foreign investments and currencies. There's no need for them to buy bitcoin, especially the institutional ones see it as an obvious bubble.

It is, though it still sounds too dumb to be true.

This is really nuts.  Charging you for them to hold your money and lend it to someone else and they make all the money there too.

At some point we're due for another economic downturn (in the US at least) and the central banks won't have ANYTHING to fight it.  They tried to kill the business cycle and they did alright, now the economy will be growing at 0% permanently ahha.
