Yeah. I call BS on that too. BTC is a game. EUR is established. Would be dumb trading the crappy EUR for an even crappier BTC. It's like jumping from a tower. BTC is riskiest asset ever. EUR not so much. |

EUR not so much. There's no question that bitcoin is riskier than just about any government issued currency in terms of maintaining value, but there is something to be said for the ability to move money (read: bitcoins) around with so little friction and the ability to secure one's stash of bitcoins more completely than any traditional currency. Though, I'm not sure that to most people the latter are compelling enough reasons to transfer a significant portion of wealth to bitcoin. We'll see, I guess. |
Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

Euro is now the second most traded currency on bitcoin exchanges. You may think bitcoin is a game, but apparently those Europeans don't. |

Was the Euro ever not the second most traded currency on bitcoin exchanges? I always thought it was, but I never really checked into it. Previously, the GBP was the second-most traded currency, back when Britcoin was strong. The GBP remains with enough volume to surpass EUR at any moment still. |

I think I conflated the two in my mind. I am American, after all. |

Euro is now the second most traded currency on bitcoin exchanges. You may think bitcoin is a game, but apparently those Europeans don't. I AM european, living in Europe. But thats not important. What would be a clear indicator of the "Euro crisis [or whatever] giving BTC a boost" would be a rise in volume on the exchanges. But thats not happening! Therefore all of that recent euro crisis/bitcoin boost talk is just fantasy. |

Therefore all of that recent euro crisis/bitcoin boost talk is just fantasy. What the hell are you smoking? I checked the volumes a few weeks ago and I had to double check now. The numbers are as follows, the last 30 days of trading compared to the average 30 days of last 6 months. Based on EUR volume. These numbers are approximations based on quick calculations. I added Bitstamp because a lot of Europeans use it even though it uses USD. Mt. Gox EUR: +20%Bitcoin.de: +50%Intersango EUR: +80%Bitstamp USD: +100%What you're talking about is empirically wrong. The volumes have been WAY up for months for Euros. Mt. Gox USD has been going down but it's difficult to say how much of that is related to this. As a sidenote BTC-E is +100% and that one is used by a lot of Russians. Russia is not in the Euro so that's not directly related to this, but anyway. |

I am European and dumped some currency pegged to the EUR.
I don't fear collapse of the EU, but I don't trust banks or my mattress and I don't like inflation eating 8% of my money over the last 2 years.
That's just compared to $, who knows how much I lost compared to bread or gold.
BTC more risky than fiat? Have you been living on this planet the last 4 years?
Apparently I am not alone.
