Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP.

I could definitely see something like btm catching on around the Internet in the future.

What the fuck is BTM?

Just another altcoin called Bitmark.

Another Billionaire investing in bitcoin companies

New York City-based SolidX has raised $3m to bring financial instruments – including ‘total return swaps’ – to large institutional bitcoin investors.

Founded in early 2014, SolidX’s funding round came from a group of investors led by Liberty City Ventures and hedge fund manager James Pallotta.


http://www.coindesk.com/solidx-raises-3-million-give-institutional-investors-better-access-bitcoin/

"James Pallotta (born March 13, 1958), is an Italian American investor and hedge fund manager and, since August 27, 2012, the president of the Italian association football club A.S. Roma.

In 2005, he had income of about 200 million dollars as Managing Director of Tudor Investment Corporation. Pallotta's net worth has been estimated to be more than a billion dollars. In addition to his investment in A. S. Roma and other investments, Pallotta is a minority vanity shareholder in the Boston Celtics.[2]"


Did a little research. Pallotta founded the Raptor Group which offers Raptor Capital Management a $192 million fund

Would be nice if he begins offering btc to clients as well

you can palpably feel the incremental adoption of Bitcoin spreading round the world.

Crazy.  If we can just get those damn miners to shut off their rigs, the price of BTC would esssssplode!  Obvious inverse correlation!

Doesn't seem to be "Just another altcoin", marking is pretty awesome.

There are so many flavors of alts, and most of them are re-hash of non-original code.  Anything is possible in that space, and saying otherwise is pure speculation.  I do think that Mark Pfennig, coinsolidation is his user name in the forum, has a unique take on usability and adoption.  The notion of marking can be integrated with almost anything, including the Overstock/XCP notion of a securities marketplace.  Imagine how marking and reputation would integrate with that marketplace (read more here if interested: https://github.com/project-bitmark/marking/wiki and if not interested, that's cool, too....perfectly understandable)

All-pro extrapolation, demonspawn.
My chart is as irrelevant to BTC exchange rate as the original posted by cypherdoc.

Wow, this is one of the best quotes

If you’re used to living in a world where you trust people and institutions, then it probably does seem weird and bizarre that you would trust something where you don’t know who created it. But if you’re in a world where you trust numbers and math and code, it doesn’t matter. There is no appeal to authority. You evaluate it on the basis of the math. It’s just math

the great thing about the Blockchain.info investment is that of all the wallets and exchanges out there, blockchain.info adheres most closely to the founding principles of Satoshi and Bitcoin. headed by Roger Ver, you just know that blockchain.info will never do anything to compromise the original Bitcoin vision; that of privacy (tumbling), personal handling of keys, safety, and great development. they even pay all their employees in Bitcoin negating the need for banks.

this development almost ensures Bitcoin's long term survival.

Agreed, but the address tagging they implemented is very problematic. It is the reason we are starting to see these new spam deposits for 0.00001 BTC that are useless clutter but permanently show the senders name every time you look at one of your addresses.

I have a theory this is why people have been receiving single satoshi's to old addresses. Once you try and send a new transaction and the single satoshi output is combined with your new HD address they can determine it is the same person using the same wallet.

Getting really old reading about all these claims without the slightest bit of evidence backing them up.

I thought any clients above 0.8.6 would filter these spam as dust and not process them?

So did I, but I've received a few that were confirmed

so here you go; affirmation of my bucket theory with all levels rising in aggregate but at different rates and different times:

In full disclosure I’ve started buying it again after staying mostly on the sidelines for most of the past two years.

http://avc.com/2014/10/bitcoin-price-and-promise/

of course it makes sense.  as the price drops to lower and lower levels, the financially astute who believe in and understand the fundamental and technical promise of Bitcoin, decide to buy.  how can they resist?  coins are cheap!
