There was an article 6 months ago where paypal said they were looking at btc and had been for a while. Now they are looking at btc. So?
No I don't have a link, only my faulty memory.
wasnt that when they added "virtual currency" category
No, that wasn't 6 months ago... It is all mentioned in the coindesk article.
http://www.coindesk.com/ebay-ceo-actively-considering-bitcoin-integration/This is not the first time that Donahoe has commented on the company’s interest in bitcoin. Last year, the eBay CEO stated that a bitcoin payment option may eventually be added to PayPal.
Yet the new statements are more positive than the ones made last year. In 2013, Donahoe said eBay was “kind of thinking about” integrating bitcoin, suggesting that the company was investigating the digital currency:

I have been watching this forum long enough but in the last few days I've come to understand why many people decided to leave this forum.... I think I might do soon as well...
Why? Not informative enough? Misleading info?
There's too much fun I reckon.

Pfft. Ripple.
One popular theory out there for the current BTC price rally is that
people are expecting a flight from XRP to other cryptocoins, including BTC,
when Jed will start selling his big stash of XRP.And why wouldn't they have done so already?

Same reason why we aren't selling our stashes of BTC.
BTC is not running towards a cliff.

A negative rate doesn't necessarily mean you have to pay the bank to hold your money (at least not directly), just look at Denmark.

ECB -> announced negative rates and market expecting QE to be announced in 20ish minutes. Get out of them Euro and into them BTC.
+1, did we just witness for one of the first time a macro-related move
Yeah !
a major newssite called it the end of capitalism as we know it.
That's a load of sensationalistic journalism, there has been experiments with negative rates various places, though not on such a scale of course.

i don´t think this is sensationalistic journalism. it is the 5th year of the 2008 crisis and they have no other tool than this very last one. if it fails (and i think it will) what will they do next ?
We quite agree that it's a spiral going down, but it will take many years of slow grinding, so to point a finger and say that
this makes for the end of capitalism as we know it, is IMHO sensationalistic journalism.

The auction will be held on 27th June from 6 am to 6 pm EST
Well, it seems like we'll have manipulated low prices for the next two weeks until after the auction then. Super.

Big news. Definitely explains the drop.
No, it doesn't
Exactly. It doesn't. Why would anyone sell because the USMS is auctioning the seized coins? Surely someone who goes through all that trouble acquiring such an amount of coins will not dump them on the market.
The lower the market price, the lower the buyer can get the coins for
This. They'll push the price down for the next two weeks. Hold on tight to your hats guys.

I'm guessing you don't live in the US.
So I take it that he has absolutely nothing to do with anything bitcoin related? So why should that have any more effect on the price than lets say the death of king Carl Gustaf ?

I love how bitcoiners want to spend hours and hours analyzing this auction and the buyer, when there's 1000% chance that Tim Draper will do absolutely nothing but sit on these 30K coins for the next 6-12 months while he further invests to build out the third world exchange infrastructure.
Still better than a dump now.

Gd morning bitcoiners
And fuck you ecuador. You seemed so progressive re drugs, and now this?
They banned crypto because they want to make their own,
which means they know its potential. It actually just means that they know it has
some potential, but can't fully grasp the entire disruptiveness of the beast. If they actually did, they would know that they are now just pissing their own pants to keep warm.

Okay guys here is what really happened.
Two days ago I began accepting pre-orders for my second design of XXX. I was accepting Bitcoin as payment for pre-order. Then yesterday when the dust had settled or so I thought I presented my gold plated B XXX and started to accept Bitcoin as payment for pre-order. In doing so I angered the Bitcoin Gods and they dumped a few thousand coins on the exchanges to get a giant laugh, haha joke was funny, lets move on now.
Or maybe you angered the bitcoin gods because they knew that you would be spamming your products here today.

Hey did you know that Parsley
http://www.savoryspiceshop.com/spices/parsley.html can be used either fresh or dried and brings a certain freshness to dishes that cannot be duplicated by any other herb? And that Europeans believed that by plucking a sprig of parsley

Thoughts regarding apple joining forces with visa for iwallet on iPhone six (released this fall)?
My first thought was this was bitcoin bearish. But apple mobile market share of handsets is not what it once was, not all iphone users or merchants will sign up to this. That said it will perhaps for the first time start what is long overdue, the use of a mobile as a wallet and payment device by the masses. This amongst the first steps to the disappearance of the conventional 'card'.
Overall this may widen the appeal of bitcoin especially among tech savvy youth as the idea your phone carrying money becomes commonplace.
Circle/coinbase/blockchain.info take note!
This is nothing but yet another extension to a huge inefficient propertarian centralized dinosaur system. It threatens the core of bitcoin in no way at all. Even if it gains a lot of success amongst ordinary people paying for new iPhones, it really doesn't matter in the long run in any way.
Bitcoin is not ready for a large scale consumer adoption as a currency yet. First we had the geeks embracing bitcoin, next we will see the financial infrastructures being replaced, and then maybe bitcoin will be adopted as a secondary currency by ordinary people.

There's enough space for a lot more panic. When it rains, it pours. And it merely started to rain a few coins.
The manic fixation on the short term price is of no importance to the overall decentralized revolution that stands before us. I would absolutely love to see more panic, and I will be buying all the way down. Can bitcoin fail? Of course it can, but is it likely to do so in the light of the development we have seen in this past half year? no. Will it's death be caused by a short term price crash? no, of course not.

I live in South East Asia, I live on around $2000 a month. That's in a nice villa, with a nice car, and I eat out at least 2x a day (in western restaurants not local food)
in Europe my lifestyle would eat 90% of my income, over here I save >75% of my income.
In most of US, you wouldn't be able to afford your lifestyle, period. I lived on $2k a month (NYC) and trust me, there was no talk of "villas" or saving
Theres a big difference between the east and west in Europe. I live in Western Europe, and here 2000 USD is what you would get from the government if you don't have a job, so that would put you right in the absolute bottom of the society. You would not be able to have a car or eat out at all, all your money would go to pay the rent of your tiny 2 room apartment and the essentials for living.
Hey MrPiggles, what country in South East Asia are you talking about and what are the downsides that you didn't mention?

PS - Massive laugh in the face of all the trolls with their pathetic bleating "Wall street is not interested, they will never be interested blah blah blah blah blah" wrong, plain old fashioned just wrong.
Credulous bitcoin investors are still pouring more than 1 million of fresh sweat-earned dollars into the bitcoin system, every day. (How much more, no one knows.) All sort of smart guys, from "Wall Street" or not, are very much interested in pocketing some of that money. That is the only reason why Andreessen, Sielbert, the Winkles, and many, many other professional money skimmers have been investing in bitcoin enterprises...
So basically you are telling us that people are not investing to lose their money? That in fact one should only invest in things that you believe will be big one day? What a brilliant strategy indeed!

Last night's little dip happened minutes after my neighborhood BTC ATM closed for the night and I thought I'd missed out on the first decent buying opportunity since April. When I woke up and saw it had barely rebounded $2 overnight, I jumped at the chance.
Out of curiosity, what's the premium on those things?

metals have a intrinsic value while bitcoins does not. i no longer trust bitcoin because it is, in my opinion, manipulated by whales and exchanges.your in the club or your not... their are predators out hunting for some poor newb who invests a bunch money into the scheme while they pump it and then they turn around and dump on them causing them to fear and dump their coins at a loss for their gain.. you trying to claim that is a system we can trust ?? this is my new opinion about bitcoin.
There is no such thing as intrinsic value.
Gold's utility value is pretty low and its current price is mostly speculative. Good luck with that.
gold will ALWAYS FOREVER be worth something... while paper ( stock, bonds, etc) and digital currency can go to zero.
gold's current price is manipulated down which means it is not it's true value... which is exactly why a person would want to buy them.
bitcoin is a pump and dump and i am hoping for good luck with it since i own a bunch of it.
And it will reach the price of aluminium once the private space industry starts mining asteroids. There is NO limit to the amount of gold in existence out there, math on the other hand.
