It also has a quote by the Citibank analyst that seems rather naive. No one here expects the 30'000 coins to be dumped on the market in a short time, right?

And the prof seems to assume that the auction price will be known right after the closing, but the USMS documents say that someone will have to submit a FOIA to get that information. (Statements by participants cannot be trusted, they will care much about the effect on price.)

And the prof also claims that the USMS wants to auction the coins before they lose value, whereas I do not see any haste (the auction was authorized quite a while ago) and do not believe they would have that motivation (the USMS has no mandate or obligation to schedule auctions for maximum profit, all it cares is to have a fair auction with enough bidders).

Guys, he's an economist. He knows better than us. If he says the price is $10, we must just be reading the charts wrong.

Sure, he is an economist, so he know better than us how to manipulate the market, seed the fear and try to protect the banks monopoly and slavery system.

Just because he has some fancy degree or job title does not mean that he is correct in his logic.

It doesn't sounds like logic but more like an agenda.

Bitcoin is a new invention. no one can predict how it will react. Maybe in 10 years from now, economists will get a grasp on the future of bitcoin.

I bet $50 that BTC will trade above $550 by July 1st 2014.

Any takers?

We have a few bets on our side around the 600 mark which seems more contentious than $550, but if you want you can host your own on betmoose.com and put down your $50. If there are no takers, you'll get it back 100% and we pay miner fees so no loss.

This bet has been cancelled!
Reason: Only one person bet on it Grin

Wait, we still have 2 days to go. Did you see that red spike at Huobi, around 12:52 UTC -- the price going down 10% in a single trade? One minute of such trading is all it would take to reach $10. (Unfortunately, that spike was later declared a glitch and erased from the charts, but even so it scared many traders into real dumping. You may still see comments about it on the Wall Observer thread of this forum. And, anyway, it is the spirit that matters.)

By the way, "the first half of 2014" is more like July 1st or July 2nd, since February had only 28 days and there is one extra 31-day month after July. So there is plenty of time yet.

I would love to see that profs's face when the price falls to $11 on June 30 but stays there until July 3rd before dropping to $10. He will be the laughing stock of his university and of all economists in the world, har har.

To "less than 10$" guy:

Tick tock motherfucker! Tick, fucking tock!

He was asked to put some money where he's mouth are....he chickened out. That's all you need to know about him. Man that does not stand behind his words.

lmao...I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's setting up his coinbase account right now and buying whatever bitcoin he can!

I would just like to see him now...hear his answers when his students ask him about this...seeing him swet, knowing he turned out to be really stupid.

Most professors do not even answer questions asked by students, instead they delegate that to the TAs.

He probably got some kind of grant for what he said and is wasting students' money

oooh professor bitcorns time is running out! Cheesy

There is speculation that the professor was paid to say what he did. This speculation is based on his demeanor during his speech. He didn’t seem all to calm and actually appeared nervous during his prediction as if he was all too confident.

His prediction was just a ploy to get attention and that is what he got.

By making a lot of noise he probably got some amount of funding for research that was not necessary.

Next time we're forcing the professor to put real money behind this (or coin). I will easily take him up on that bet up to maybe $100K/~150BTC.
