The implication being new rules allowing banks to hold bitcoin are on there way. Note it is 'advice'.

Sounds bullish to me.

This seems so 2013 to me. I think we are passed the point where this advisory really matters. Once Wall Street and us banks get involved in bitcoin, Europe will be forced to move forward with regulations. Europe, as always, is never going to lead.

Perhaps they have seen some moves from EU private banks towards bitcoin and they want to stop it..

The timing is suspect as always, just when technically btc could break out.

Remember the central banks are a global cabal.

I don't know. Maybe we need a reason for a small retracement. If there whould not have been this reason, than maybe that the big economic empire of Burundi has forbidden bitcoin  Grin

They are fucking stupid or what? Bank's does not Hold/Buy or sell bitcoins, people do.
And bank's can't stop you to spend your money even if it's bitcoin or some other virtual currency.

But this a logical problem now, if a bank already holds bitcoins...

...what should they do now?!

They should not hold, but also should not sell them...

except it doesnt, at all. maybe you don't understand english well, but there is a reason we have a word for advice, another word for regulation, and a whole different word for ban. they do not correlate. you are dumb.

http://www.eba.europa.eu/documents/10180/657547/EBA-Op-2014-08+Opinion+on+Virtual+Currencies.pdf

just read the thing..

"178. The EBA also recommends that EU legislators consider declaring virtual currency exchanges
as ‘obliged entities’ that must comply with anti-money laundering and counter terrorist
financing requirements set out in the EU Anti Money Laundering Directive"


stamp is already doing this.




Whatever. And no you haven’t been in bitcoin since 2010. Plus if you really feel the way you do. Then sell. Have conviction. If not keep pounding sand.
