I always use the chart from BTCchina. I found it more reliable.

Ok, here is the chart from China.
I can't decide which variant of the neckline is correct there.

Use the one that tells you the opposite of what you want to hear.

If you are bearish and think that failure to cross above the neckline confirms your theory, use the lower line.  If you are bullish and think that successful crossing upwards confirms your theory, use the upper line.

Has this been mentioned yet?

Fidelity now allows clients to put bitcoins in IRAs

http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetell/2013/12/11/fidelity-now-allows-clients-to-put-bitcoins-in-iras/

Very interesting.  I wonder if that is only for IRAs.  I'd love to get my HSA invested into bitcoins, and Fidelity does offer HSA investing...

We will have to agree to disagree: i) For you cryptographically signed messages have no significance, ii) for me they have a very strong significance.

Legally binding in USA

And much of the world

Hilariously, what we think of as digital signatures (cryptographic) are pretty much just an afterthought to most of those laws.  Typically, those laws are about fax machines, and web buttons labelled "I agree" and other such nonsense.

Bullshit. If you made a website with the following elements:

"I own all your shit now" and a button stating "I agree"

A visitor clicking said button would not transfer ownership.

Similarly a "these are Risto's coins" message is not a contract and isn't binding.

You ever buy a house?  Odds are really good that one or both of the agents in the deal uses a website that presents documents with a fancy version of the "I agree" button.  They don't usually use it for the closing or the note (where you agree to pay the money back) because those need to be witnessed, notarized and recorded.  But for everything else (purchase contract, disclosures, etc), it is a bunch of clicking.

In a truly free laissez faire system nothing is "too big to fail." Tax exemptions come from governments, what market ever gave anyone a tax exemption for anything? Let alone a laissez faire market. Don't sacrifice intellectual integrity to prop up a political agenda.
Laissez Faire capitalism, which in the US was brought in by back starting with Reagan, first allowed banks and corporations to grow and merge without limits.  (Once upon a time, there was a US government that ordered the breakup of AT&T because it was too big.  Would you believe that?)

Hilarious.

The AT&T divestiture was in 1984.  Guess who was sitting in the oval office that year?  (I gave you a hint.)

Also, you may want to read up on the Glass-Steagall Act.  It was neutered by the executive branch in the 1960s, and finally repealed by Clinton.  From your recent posts, it sounds like you learned both economics and history from the same DNC fundraising pamphlet.
