Gulden is seeking to avoid being tied down to Bitcoin’s slow speeds

“About 80 to 90 percent of our Bitcoin transactions required support because the transactions took longer than an hour to either confirm or broadcast to complete a purchase,” says Boer. “So users either requested a refund or we manually processed their payment. In most cases, users pay through a third-party service which causes confirmation times up to 48 hours, something that we just can’t use in our type of business. We’re aiming for a quick settlement and direct results.

'Nocks, an exchange and payment processor working closely with Gulden, has dropped Bitcoin support, citing the cryptocurrency’s bad reputation and slow confirmation times.'

Indeed, she might not -- but that's not the point. The point is just how far behind the reality curve left-wingers are: the Eurozone works! People want 'more Europe'! This 'populism' is just a few crazies! I assume you all noticed this:

How is all this connected to cryptos? It's the leading edge of an historic avalanche of decentralisation (and right-wing politics).

Bam!! 'Blockchains move fast, and in just 6 or so years Bitcoin went from disruptor to incumbent, finding itself on the other side of the innovator’s dilemma.'   

https://newalchemy.io/news/announcing/

This is what has disappointed me about the Uno community! And we've discussed its counterpart in politics:

the New Guys blast onto the scene, then suddenly . . . they're The Old Guys, who deserve to succeed without further effort because . . . they're the incumbent?

' . . .  any new solution, including that of the "bad bank" ' [I put the inverted commas around 'bad bank.' They should have been there.]

Ooooh!! This is bound to go well! Frankenbanks pursued about the countryside by villagers with torches and pitchforks.


And: I've been wrong about the chronology of When Will The Craziness Begin? (but I can explain . . . )

Whatever:

'Indeed, the whole notion of the US raising rates is particularly ridiculous when you compare the US’s economic data to that of Europe.
Europe is currently experiencing faster GDP growth and a more rapid acceleration of inflation [while still] engaging in a massive QE program.
Meanwhile, the US economy is barely growing and we’re supposed to be raising rates?'

This should have been the pivotal issue of the recent U.S. elections, but wasn't even mentioned.

If where you shop is now a political act,  the currency you choose to spend will become a hyper political act.

That move by PRC is going to cost the Chinese exchanges bigly.

I moved btc to cash at 1029, but missed the bottom. I was certain we were headed for the 700's.  Oh well, easy come, easy go.  This bet still has $30 to play with.

Wheeeeeeeeee!!

'Le Pen has pledged to ditch euro, change debt denomination

 . . . . Polls suggest the leader of the far-right National Front will eventually lose to a mainstream candidate, tipped to be conservative Francois Fillon, and also indicate that despite strong misgivings about the EU and the euro zone, most French voters want to remain members of both.

But after the Brexit vote and Donald Trump's U.S. victory, few people are taking anything for granted.'

EDIT: Wheeeeee! (Mark, stop it!):

'The latest chapter in Italy’s banking crisis is being played out as UniCredit sells shares to raise 13 billion euros.

The country’s largest lender is having to rebuild its capital reserves as it expects to suffer a loss of 11.8 billion euros for 2016.

The money has disappeared in a welter of loans which Unicredit now accepts will never be repaid.

The new shares are being sold at a big discount.

On Monday, the first day of Italy’s biggest corporate cash call, UniCredit’s shares plunged 6.9 percent and subscription rights fell 18.9 percent as selling by investors who do not plan to buy into the share offer was amplified by a market slump for Italian bonds and banking stocks.'

Maybe the establishment could make themselves feel better by buying some UniCredit shares?

'Greece is running out of cash, but it needs to make repayments to creditors including the European Central Bank. Major bills are coming due in July.
If Greece cannot make the payments, it will default on its debt and spiral out of the eurozone.
Meanwhile, its latest bailout -- the third since 2010 -- is effectively frozen.'

http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/08/news/economy/greece-imf-bailout-eurozone/index.html

Sigh: yeh, we're sick of hearing about this; but something gotta give sooner or later.
