I dont know if this is a good one or not, but "community driven open source" wouldnt make me feel warm n fuzzy about it. Its still electronic, and it appears you still need to plug it into a computer to use or put the coin on it at the very least. To me, this is still hackable technology, sure more secure than an exchange, but still.Quote:

Also to echo the other response. Talk of hacks on Bitcoins doesnt instill confidence in something that still seems very strange to the general public.
Glad to see y'all riding the wave, wish I had gotten in years ago, but didn't. Still don't see the actual coin sticking around and replacing traditional currencies or displacing traditional banking.
When people start taking Paypal, beer and bitcoins in Gear Swap I'll be a believer.
what if this is the begining of the wave of retailers not wanting to take this anymore? Can you blame them for not wanting to deal with this at least not for a little while: http://www.businessinsider.com/valve...itcoin-2017-12

100%. One of the prime measures of a currency is it's stability. It just so happens Bitcoin is going up not down. Beer has a shelf life so that's why it's not a great currency outside of TGR.Quote:

wealth disparity creates bubbles
More like Albania circa 1996. Anyone remember when most of the nation of Albania invested their meager savings in a pyramid scam that, when it blew up, it started a minor civil war, overturned a government and got a few thousand people killed in riots? Only 20 years ago...Quote:

This is a fun wave, but what good is it if you don't spend any of it?
yeah, you're late to the party, that happened before you were on these boardsQuote:

Bitcoin not volatile enough? How about trading futures?
https://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin...ers-1512745187 A short quote from the article:
Quote:
Is bitcoin not volatile enough for you? Try trading bitcoin futures.
This weekend’s launch of the first U.S. bitcoin futures will let investors add bitcoin to their portfolios through the same electronic brokerages they use to trade stocks and options. And futures will allow people who think bitcoin is overpriced to “short” it—bet that its price will fall.
But a key point is that futures will let risk-loving traders place leveraged bets on bitcoin. That means they can magnify their profits if their bets pay off, but also face potentially steep losses if they are wrong.
“Cryptocurrency is already so volatile,” said Aitan Goelman, a former head of enforcement at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. “If you’re futurizing it, it’s like adding rocket fuel to the volatility.”
Anyone playin in litecoin?? Nice 24 hour run.... get you some.
Looking for a high point today and then selling my BTC.
I think I need to stay in my lane.

You’d have to update it constantly and always downwards ( was .0000007 BTC yesterday but today its .0000006 BTC). A good currency is stable . You don’t want Zimbabwean dollars or Argentinian Pesos because it will be devalued tomorrow and you’ll lose a big part of what you gained. If BTC goes up and up the opposite would be true, you can’t afford to spend it because you’ll lose great value.
Not a solid base for a currency.
One of the articles out there is saying that the market is basically cornered by the Winklevosses and the Miners and big early adopters. They will keep holding and the market can only go up and up as the supply is captured by the vested interests. Add to that that despite its claim as a currency, people don’t really spend it . The retail peeps that have bought it did so as a novelty, a pig in a poke, or speculatively. Not a currency, only a speculative investment.

Soooo, for the techy peeps that are holding BTC....any guesses as to the listing of btc on the future's market is gonna do for price in short, med, long term respectively? Noticed a bump in btc this a.m. ... anticipating further action until the listing at 5pm, CT.
Lift off.
Reminds me of 2007. So much frenzied fomo and speculative buying. Scary. At least its not insanely leveraged.
Ill take it for a car or rent.
