Meanwhile, in the interests of balanced journalism, here's Shinohai on the revamping of the DAO:

' . . . a due-diligence process which included an auditing process that must detail where the company will spend funds and what, if anything, the founders have accomplished besides losing millions of dollars and writing shitware on top of an already buggy and unreliable platform.'

World's Eighth-Largest Economy

'As Italy considers options to recapitalize its banks, the Texas ratio, a measure of bad loans as a proportion of capital reserves, illustrates the scale of the problem. A figure above 100 percent is a warning signal the banks need a solution quickly . . . '

And gotta say, Looney Zero Hedge or not, this is succinct:

' . . . before public funds are injected into a bank, shareholders and creditors must be bailed in for a minimum amount of 8% of total liabilities, as famously happened in the rescue of Cyprus’ banking system in 2013.

The Italian government knows that this approach could end up wiping out retail investors (otherwise known as voters) who were missold, in many cases fraudulently, subordinated bonds by cash-hungry banks in the wake of the last crisis, in turn wiping out the government’s votes. To avoid such an outcome, the government has proposed compensating those retail bondholders with public funds, just as the Spanish government did with the holders of preferente bonds. Which, of course, is in direct contravention of EU laws.

So far, the European Commission has stayed silent on the issue, presumably in the hope that the resolution of Italy’s financial sector can be held off until at least after the French elections in late April, if not the German elections in September.'

"Although the beliefs must be chosen for the people and imposed upon them, they must become their beliefs, a generally accepted creed which makes the individuals as far as possible act spontaneously in the way the planner wants."

My Little Report (on visiting the 'Real World')

My trips to the city are infrequent, guys; and I don't watch television sometimes for 12-14 months at a time. But I'm just on my way home from several days in the Big Smoke. Looked hard at The Reality of Australian Life that I see, and talked to people about cryptos. Here's my report:

Australians, at least, have become bliss ninnies. The term that comes to mind is 'diminishing returns': just how fantastic an experience -- requiring 'going harder' and 'being all the me I can be' -- can buying a packet of toothpicks be?!? Every waking second is utterly crammed with me-me-me activities that require purchasing something.

So, crypto adoption? There's no sense of economic or political crisis. (Australia's economy pivots on exports to China. Nothing is going too wonky here at this second, regardless of what is going on in China.) Thus, 'safe-haven adoption' makes no sense.

And technology? Here it gets interesting. The technological complexity of daily life -- to a guy who pops into it from the Faraway Farmhouse -- is simply fantastic. And although every one understands how to connect everything to everything to everything, it is all so time-consuming that the idea of jemmy-ing an entirely new (libertarian) currency system into the middle of the present model, as an improved payment system, just won't make sense.

Conclusion: the waves of capital coming into crypto this year will be from the smarties on Wall Street rather than mom and pop -- assuming that the system doesn't cack its pants in that time. It'll be safe-haven investment not grass-roots mass adoption.

So we have a really really good opportunity to trade the rhythm of spikes and dips that will be involved.

Good to see you hear, F.K., the Neutral Place for Long Timers to Wrap Their Heads around Stuff Like All This.

What my outfit is sure of is that we are seeing tectonic shifts: firstly, capital 'flowing past' Bitcoin to ETH/DASH/XMR -- and obviously doing so in frustration over The Never-Ending (Block-Size) Story -- then flowing further, down the charts.

Towards us . . .


And I noted Unobtanium's v. high volume this morning, and spread across the range of pairs.

Is this fork going to increase the overall value of our holdings, like ETH/ETC?
Or is ETC denying value to ETH?
And in the end, does it really matter to those who held prior to the fork?

Trying to wrap my head 'round all this.

'BTC/BTU pair is already available for trading on the exchange.' Wow!!

sigh: I snuck out a while ago, but one of our 'passengers' still has 4.5.

Big Picture, though: this sends the whole altcoin-world-set-up-in-XBT-pairs thing wonky . I'll be offering P2Ps starting next week.

it's Happening!

i like the BTC in red bear mode

It is not a dip.
CHINA <<< are we clear?

I am so screwed on not dumping at 7000 CNY, I thought it would at least tick up to 7011.  Smashes to ashes 6000 CNY.  

There is the dynamo that drives BTC.  YUAN.

and it aint cracking 7000 again, the next leg down will be a bloody spike.
