Jon Matonis would be my second choice after Keiser. Vorhees definitely knows about Bitcoin and has an educational background, but while he articulates the Bitcoin idea well, he lacks the experiential base to communicate the message to a wider audience.

We should organize a workshop/seminar, in some expensive ski resort or something, with a hefty entrance fee of something like $25,000. Make it invite-only. Seed some rumors Satoshi might show up.

YES. Do it on Cyprus.

If you think of it. The next Bitcoin conference shall be on Cyprus too.


The next one I know of will be in Vienna: http://unsystem.net

Until there is a massive adoption of Bitcoin in a paticular sector (i,e, gambling, craigslist) there will not likely be long term investors. People only seem to understand stocks and currencies of which Bitcoin is really neither. Currencies are subject to unpredictable inflation, and stocks are subject to inside information. Bitcoin is being treated like an unknown quantity with fear and doubt. This is unjustified because it is based on math. Sure there are unknown factors, but the chance of Bitcoin crashing are about the same as having a house-sized meteorite fall on your head. This game of buying and selling for short term profits will end when some visionary investors around the world get educated about the power of math.

I absolutely agree. At the very least there should be a TED talk.

TED was cold to Bitcoin back at $7... maybe they've changed their tune now  Cheesy

FUCK YEAH! He could burn some FIAT on stage.

EDIT: I'm for Rick. For anybody who has missed his talk in Prague, it's truly inspiring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjmuPqkVwWc

There is no such thing as insider trading, as they cannot know the future with certainty either, infact insider trading is better allocation of resources faster

If it weren't for proudhon and evolve, the speculation forum would be a lot more boring. Really, it would breakdown into bulls vs more bullish bulls with pictures of rockets flying all over the place. We should thank them for their tireless efforts to provide a counterargument. It's gotta be tough.

I am acutely aware that Proudhon, Evolve and Electric Mucus are the "senior bears" around bitcointalk, but I try to do my part.  And yes, at times, it is quite difficult.  I have seen SO MANY bubbles in my time though and really we are well past due for a rather major snapback correction.  SOMEONE has to say it...   *whistles past the graveyard and tilts at windmills*

I actually believe Max can put on his game face, especially if Stacy Herbert is with him. It would be funny as hell if he did throw one of his trademarked fits.

A much better fit to speak at TED (about Bitcoin that is) would be https://twitter.com/Falkvinge. Although many of his political views are debatable, he is a good speaker and he at least sounds objective.

This didn't surprise me one bit.  With the FinCEN and Cyprus news, I told my wife we'd be hitting $100 within a week.  I still wouldn't be surprised to see that happen.

I won't be surprised to be back into the 30s in a week.

What would surprise me was if you made a bullish post and the rally continued nevertheless. If you really want to see a drop, you should try to write a bullish post.

Yes, even for me this was a WTF moment.

Most of us have seen Proudhon's posts turn into contrarian indicators, but some of us may have also noticed that Technomage's posts to have contrarian indicativitude from the start...

Usually in these "rocket" scenarios, price will crash shortly after Technomage posts his confidence in the recent increase, how it was justified due to fundamentals, etc.
This is the first time I've seen him actually surprised by an increase.  WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

We are now, again, a few notches above the exponential growth trendline that started in January. So it wouldn't be surprising to correct back near support at $50, but given the recent news it also wouldn't be surprising to continue spurting higher.
