Whether we like it or not, I think the concept will bring a lot of interest into bitcoin, because it reduces the barrier to entry. And even though they're buying shares of bitcoins, you know how it goes - once you get your first taste of Bitcoin, you can't quit :-)

But none of this will happen for, as said above, 6-18 months minimum.  Until people see it, and it's real, I don't anticipate the news will positively impact price.

Show a Bitcoin ATM, installed and not seized for a period of 7 days, I think the price goes up.
Post the IPO for anything Bitcoin, it gets attention, and the aforementioned benefits, I think the prices goes up.

There's another subtle (and evil) benefit to their concept.

They began with 200,000 shares. As people invest, they get more money. Which will allow them to buy more Bitcoins. Which increases the fundamental value of their stock.

So long as people arbitrage against their stock, the stock will self-sustain continued acquisition, which will continue to fuel an increase in value.

Can someone check my logic on this?  It seems as if, by attaching itself to the value of Bitcoin, then putting that asset on an exchange where billions are already traded, and arbitrage opportunities are seized, that this is an eventuality.

And Vladimir - which kidney do I have to give you to get a heads up on this sort of thing next time? 

I got this using an online sha256 tool : ee404466e9a7cd997aa09f64529dc3bef3e7314357f0e66795cf601beaa7b34e [blink]match![/blink]

I hope so.  I don't know how the price dipped after this news.  I think it is very bullish.  I would think it could send the price higher then ever.  But I am so often wrong on these things, unfortunately.

Or he just made it up?

No srsly, I'm really wondering what "sha256" program he's using.  Neither GNU coreutils (the sha256sum on every Linux box, every distro) nor the perl shasum script have a "-s" command line option.

who cares- if it isn't approved, its submitted again, and if not in that country, in another etc, its coming, so run ye bears

probably a character or two missing or added

Er, GNU coreutils sha256sum sez:


$ echo "a publicly traded bitcoin trust (similar to the SPDRs GLD Trust) Sat Mar 23 07:28:57 GMT 2013" | sha256sum

[blink] y u no match? [/blink]

Worth noting from the wording (imho of course), Vlad also seems to have high confidence it will actually be approved.

So Vladimir you are obviously bullish on the Winklevii news.

Some people are just shrugging and do not seem so excited.  With the big fall of the BTC price today it seems it has had a negative affect on the price of BTC if anything at all.  (of course, I think perhaps this news may have kept he price from falling any further and most of the falling price was due to Mt. Gox Withdrawal issues)

All that said, what are your projections based on this news?  I am curious since you seem to have some insider info.

This was an epic "I told you so" thread.

But it happens that "I told you so" is the most annoying thing to hear, so I hate you for that. [Although I recognise it is the most satisfying thing to say, so I would have done it too.]

very nice. 

I remember when I could've bought shares from Bittalk Media

LOL


So Vladimir, you are friends with Winklevii?

i like you 

Lol,During the time period when I first read this forum this is exactly what individuals were saying after the crash and you know what happened I bought a good amount........the rest is history.

I believe this secretive OP thread over some kid with 3 posts trying to get BTC at a good price.

You can't cash out only lately can you drop >10000 coins without crashing the market.
