yea, that... that totally sounds reasonable, banning end to end encryption. uh huh. i'll get right on supporting that for my country!
or... perhaps not.

China thinks David cameron and NY are going to ban Bitcoin shortly.
There's some noise about UK banning all crypto, ALL crypto, not just coins. "It's only for terrists" etc.
I don't think it's cryptocurrencies specifically just encryption, which is going to be difficult because of course all sorts of technology falls under that category, as I've said before I think it's David Cameron tryig to appeal to his social conservative base, unfortunately I'm probably going to have to take a closer look at what the politicians are planning on this.
Cameron wants to ban end-to-end encryption so that his spy-agencies can (continue to) snoop on everyone. This affects messaging apps, email etc.
Bitcoin is not affected, though they will want to de-anonymize all transactions eventually.
Good luck with that, Cameron Clown, especially when you are voted out in 4 months time.

crashes happen in markets from time to time. it happens at the nyse, ftse, tokyo, hongkong.. etc.. what makes crypto markets different?
So essentially you're saying: just like other markets, the only rationale here is the lack of rationale amongst people. Hence the occasional crash with no legit reason in particular. January 15, 2015, 03:53:27 PM
My bet: nobody has any rationale for this hysterical selling and dumping. Or did I miss something?
You miss that Bitcoin mining is based on wrong assumptions. What until hashrate drops 2-fold if the flaw is not obvious to you.
Can you please explain this to me as if I were a 7 year old?
Translation: CFB wants you to buy NXT as it's a PoS coin.

Just shut that bad noize about Bitcoin. Too big companies and investors entered the game during 2013 year.

Yep, it's all mass hysteria, no one really has any proof for the bullshit they're peddling, I suspect some of them are just trying to take advantage of the Bitstamp hacking, the others just don't know any better.

The rational is the high inflation - the crash is fully expected and 100% rational.
The people calling this back in November/December have been called names and labeled 'trolls'.
You've been on the forum for a month.
It's about perspective. We are still in the early stages on Bitcoin and inflation is necessary in the beginning. A decade from now (after a couple of halvings), people are going to wish they were around in 2015 (and earlier).
dont worry, he's just trolling.

Big hodlers getting out of the market and maybe a reverse willy bot acting somewhere.
Or maybe Bitstamp is doing it to avenge the hack, so the hacker will get less money in the end.

There will be 50% of power
- not suitable for mining
- switched off
- at zero cost
- ready for doublespending attack
I understand that mechanism, but I do not get reason for double attack. What will be benefit, the trust in the system will destroy whole value.

This is interesting.

It is hashrate chart .
13.1.2015 there was 358.478.251 GH/s, 14.1 it fell to 229.513.534 GH/s and today it´s back at 345.363.222 GH/s.
I hope we do not face 51% attack from some major pool.

Do you even know how those network's "Hashrates" are derived from?
Because it seems you're just a clueless fcktard.

These 'ultra secure' cryptos are only secure until the ones who protect the network (miners) stop dropping out in troves...
Oh wait.
