Of course we are going down. That's why I don't buy the "technical" issue at bitstamp.

+1. Going full anything is going full retard.

I really dont like these Winklevossies. It seems they only try to make more money outta other people hard work and with daddy's money. They dont see the interest in bitcoin but only that grabbing 1% of it all would make them richer. They just pretend to be so smart but they just seems to get f**cking second if not last all the time.

ergo Zuckerberg ditched them
ergo Satoshi (and even FBI) got way more BTCs than they can ever dream of
ergo them ETF is far from opening.
ergo i wont consider a single news related to them as they mean nothing. Smiley

You sound jealous.
i sure am. but there is some cause for resentment when, all other things equal, they wouldnt have 1% of BTC if they werent simply born with silver spoons in hand. clearly many smaller holders got in long before them, but have far fewer coins not by virtue of foresight or skill, but by virtue of birth. in that sense, i have far less respect for the twins than i do for many of the smaller fish around since 2010.

There are many with far more wealth than the Winklevii with zero bitcoin holdings. Foresight, skill and/or luck certainly have something to do with their choice of holdings. If it was purely about money, then the 1% would have a much larger share of BTC in the market.

Who decided that Dan Akroyd is a comedian? I've seen he's in a lot of comedies, but he's never funny. Never!

As un-funny as Aykroyd is, he's still more comical than Jerry Lewis, who for some unfathomable reason the French seem to think is some kind of comedic genius.  Tongue

I rather liked Grosse Pointe Blank, but I guess that was in spite of Akroyd, rather than because of him. Yeah neither of those guys were funny to me, either.

Buying in Chinese Yuan, selling in USD. They aren't buying Bitcoin, they are just using Bitcoin to buy Dollars. To avoid capital controls.

And when the last coin leaves China, y'all better pray there's another totalitarian regime somewhere doing something equally evil and stupid or demand will dry up like a bull turd in the Mohave.

Is there really a time when a totalitarian regime isn't doing something equally stupid as implementing capital controls and currency manipulation? Rinse and repeat.
