this is actually a good sign for Bitcoin (Gold 2.0) advocates. the gold resistance continues to be strong, angry, and defiant despite the wipeout.
it's early innings.
You're basing all of this on the "wipeout"? In other words, you're saying that gold is inferior because if you bought at X date and sold at Y date, you would have taken it in the pants? Gold pot, meet Bitcoin kettle. You're certifiably nuts .. i don't really see a problem, do you?
Ah the old "past performance predicts future performance" racket. you have selective hearing. i've advanced a number of fundamental reasons why many of us think Bitcoin is superior in it's function. if you can refute those, please do so now. while past performance doesn't guarantee future results, what better way is there for us to place our bets? with sound fundamentals that i and many others have hammered home in this thread regarding Bitcoin's superiority, why expect a sudden change in trend? just b/c you say so? i should call you a name here but i won't stoop to your level.

that's really f*d up. i can't tell you how many times i've sat there watching realtime charts with a huge dump in the /ES futures only to be met with an instantaneous buy to jack the price back up to where it started. sure, it could be an honest trader but given the low volumes, presence of a PPT, what's at stake, revelations of the NSA, and this article, i seriously doubt they're honest. furthermore, you can't short stocks anymore based on fundamentals. i'm sure the Fed enjoys inflicting losses on honest shorts b/c they're "unpatriotic".

why don't you let him speak for himself?
cypher, this topic has been beaten to death. To suggest that gold has absolutely no edge over cryptocurrencies, under any circumstances, demonstrates how desperate and puerile your position has become. You are becoming less reasonable and more evangelical by the day, and it only serves to embarrass you and your cohorts. Hard assets have a few thousand years of history as stores of value and currency. Cryptocurrencies, around 6 years now? The arrogance. You fail to understand that any cryptocurrency is simply a securely shared ledger. Cryptocurrencies solve a host of problems. Hard assets solve other problems. If there were no assets but Bitcoin, what would Bitcoin be worth? Your arguments are analogous to saying that because information can be transmitted via the internet, there is no longer any need for physical objects to be transmitted from person to person. Hell, even lumber has more "value" than Bitcoins in certain circumstances. Get your head out of your ass. It should be obvious that bitcoin is vastly superior to gold in nearly every typical "moneyness" category: scarcity, portability, recognizability, etc, etc. Where gold wins, is in a semi-stable civilization that has developed somewhat large-scale trade, but has no digital infrastructure. While it's possible that humanity reverts to such a state, it's unlikely, representing only a very thin slice of the long tail of possible outcomes. If you want to hedge for that particular outcome by holding gold, that's your "optimization" to make. I don't know your personal utility curve, after all. Anyways, bitcoin replacing gold is an inherently optimistic viewpoint... And I'm not saying that as a bitcoin-bull; I'm saying that in the sense that it's optimistic to think that the rationally superior form of money will win due to bottom-up market forces. It would be very depressing if gold continues to be monetized for more than another couple decades in light of the vastly better money humanity has had since 2009.

Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

Right now people around me are saying that gold prices will be picking up. I'm not sure if that will happen or not. Even the price for BTC kind of went down now. As you can see here http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg60ztgSzm1g10zm2g25zvThe value of BTC is going down. Is it because of the lack of demand of BTC? Or is it because governments are now regulating BTC? Either way BTC and Gold stocks are going down atm. I'm not sure how to feel about this situation.

With the Ukraine crisis escalating it will not be a surprise if Gold goes up, presently it is still high by historical standards.

They can't be paying you much; for such a low life job. Apparently the pay-scale depends on the class of troll. Falllling is a low-grade trollus minimus and these are the most affordable to hire. A Taxonomy of the TrollClass C bitcoin troll (lat. trollus minimus): -How to recognize: Simple-minded FUD spreading, and juvenile insults. -Recommended response: ignore, their trolling is obvious to everyone and occasionally humorous. -Examples: falllllling, Chuckee, fonzie (in the earlier part of his career) Class B bitcoin troll (lat. trollus averagus) -How to recognize: bait-and-switch thread titles and well-executed concern trolling; methods designed to fool the reader into thinking the troll is a non-troll. -Recommended response: agree with everything they say in a satirical way. Their arguments are usually so flawed that simply rephrasing back what they said will reveal their lunacy. This technique is especially effective if the troll doesn't recognize this attack vector until he's already sunken his ship. -Examples: Nagle, JorgeStolfi, Edward50 Class A bitcoin troll (lat. trollus maximus) -How to recognize: usually hold an esteemed position or a PhD. -Recommended response: Engage in logical and polite debate. These are the most difficult trolls to defeat, so you must be patient. The truth will prevail. -Examples: Mark Williams, Paul Krugman, Richard Murphy

Its not really a shock. Its in the BASEL iii docs. They are just surfacing some of the weird evidence of it when exchanges are treating them as a customer. There are scarier parts, such as the provisions for determining what constitutes minority interests in securitized debt loans constituting the capitalization for the banks, central banks, and "global systemically important financial institutions". The many loopholes for whether insolvent commercial and sovereign debt instruments be called, and the further secularization of those (which is essentially printing money). There isn't a better license to steal than being a bank.

I believe that the banks will not only want to but have to get into the game on Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies... it’s just a question of time

Yes and yes. But will these bank-crypto-coins gain traction (value)? Bitcoin is peoples money and I think it will be able to attract way more trust than those bank-coins. Side-note: even if they are technically superior (eth?), they will have a hard time.
