Bitcoin Is Having One Of Its Strongest Periods Ever en-us Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 00:16:32 -0500 Joe Weisenthal Murray Thu, 19 Jun 2014 14:11:06 -0400 Thank you for consisting of the attractive pictures-- so open to a sense of contemplation. Feel free to visit my web site ...

You'll see hype once the next (positive) bubble happens. Erik Voorhees Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:51:35 -0400 If you looked at the "rate of growth" of pre-IPO tech company share value, you'd see a similar trend. Bitcoin's transparency means it has a value/price from the very beginning, and as it takes over the world, that price is going to rise dramatically. How is it that you don't see the value in a system which enables anyone in the world to send money to anyone else instantly, for free?

In fact, unless you LOVE trading, you don't have to get them from an exchange. Coinbase is NOT a classical exchange and has an EXTREMELY solid reputation. You could also just get the from someone you meetup with at localbitcoins. The choices are only increasing. Then you can store them in a paper wallet at three different lock boxes in a bank if you like. Seriously, not to be rude but you're either just spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt or you just haven't done enough research. anon007 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 09:42:20 -0400 @itsme: Or you can use your bitcoins which have appreciated in value at one of the many retailers that are happy to accept them as a payment option (Overstock,Tigerdirect,Dish network+ thousands of small businesses). You seem to be closed minded and a bit afraid of the possibility of what a frictionless global payment system can do for the world. Bitcoin requires no counterparty trust and allows innovation at the edges without permission. This is due to the amazing invention of the block chain which will revolutionize the world whether Bitcoin succeeds or not. It will allow for trusted and fully verifiable electronic titles,trusts,wills,property transfers etc. If you are going to call it a ponzi scheme at very least acknowledge the value of the technology. sjalq Tue, 03 Jun 2014 09:39:25 -0400 You understand neither how Bitcoin actually works nor what a Ponzi scheme is. Random4925 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 09:30:57 -0400 What is the use of a legal frame if the "legal" is now more currupt and unusable than not having a legal framework? If bitcoin gets domesticated like that it will lose all value and the people who are shut out of the banking system will be shut out again. And there is not so much trouble with the exchanges as you say, i have bought and sold bitcoins since 2010 without a single incident or money lost. It is just a matter of applying common sense in your dealings, just like traditional banking and trading. Much, MUCH more money have been lost in the regulated banking system than the few cases in the bitcoin eco system. itsme Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:49:32 -0400 You STILL don't understand !!! The exchanges that take you real dollars to trade bitcoins are the weak link in the bitcoin ponzi... You can go long or short bitcoins and make tons of money (theoretically), but what good would that be if when you want to withdraw your money you're just told it's not possible and that your bitcoins are now worth $0, like in the MtGox case (one of the dozen of cases)... Without a legal frame, bitcoin is just a giant ponzi that dishonest people will use to steal from naive people that believe in quick rich and free lunch schemes... /very pathetic Random4925 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 07:54:37 -0400 Assume you are right. You do realize that you can become a millionaire with even a small and modest bet against the bitcoin price. Why dont you put your money where your mouth is and become filthy rich at the same time. Bet against bitcoin right now... Tue, 03 Jun 2014 06:38:36 -0400 The volume is 2 to 3 times the volume of apple stock on a calm day... itsme Tue, 03 Jun 2014 06:33:43 -0400 Stop that bitcoin BS ! It's a ponzi and a bad gambling vehicle, how much should this be repeated ? Failures after failures, it's obvious bitcoin exchanges are in, just to take people's money and vanish. Pooooof it's gone... aka you've been MtGoxed ;-) Bored man Tue, 03 Jun 2014 05:03:15 -0400 Joe, its the fanboys buying back again after shitting their pants. Its called Dead Cat Bounce, this rate of growth is not sustainable, especially with low volume and without average Joe hype.
