It's not just the lack of bearish fundamentals, it's the very bullish spin on the fundamentals that are shown.

Thing is, much as I approve of balanced evidence, I'm not sure I'd want you to change it because I'm a bull and your list is awesome. Grin

Maybe a bear could volunteer to do a bearish version, and this could be the Bull's fundamental analysis thread? It's much easier to get two opposing biased views to compare against each-other than one unbiased view.

To be honest I would love it if someone would put together a decent bearish fundamental list. Problem is that I've been trying for over a year now to see indicators which fundamentally point towards downwards price movement and almost without exception have failed.

The OP has a strongly bullish bias. Is this intentional?

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread I'm open to including all change which have the potential to fundamentally affect the price (I included the fork). If you have something you'd like to include, just post it here.

@OP: Suggestion: Lock this thread besides you updating it. Make a single post about it each time so everybody is notified.

I like the idea and it should be separate from discussion. If you like make a separate fundamental analysis discussion thread and link to it from the original post.

People can still pm you with fundamental news. An alternative might be a self moderated thread so that you can delete all off topic posts.

Thanks for the suggestion - for now I think it's working just fine. People rarely comment here anyway. I will create a new thread if at some point that changes however.

Not going to update the main post with this (yet), but the fact that paypal is considering Bitcoin as a funding option... http://www.bloomberg.com/video/paypal-sees-20-billion-in-mobile-transactions-WlokACTBRterdjHAJGNB6w.html

This underlines the rising tension between them and Western Union which is building. It might turn into a race which will which rapidly expand the infrastructure for bitcoin in a very short time period (and hence push the price to astronomical levels in an equally short time period).

Interesting, he actually mentioned that they are considering it as a funding option.

PayPal could jump onto the Bitcoin bandwagon and allow people an easy way to spend their hordes of BTC.

This could be massive for both Bitcoin and Paypal.

Bitcoin + Paypal could completely disrupt Visa and Mastercard in this way.

Well were going to have to find some sort of a use for it, because thus far as a "money", it's little more than a glorified "virtual toilet" who's sole "value" depends entirely upon how the last guy might leave the toilet seat, an hour from now.

This is truly astonishing. Part of me says: "hey, it was a mistake to consider WU and PayPal our enemies, they could be allies". Another part says: "watch out, this might be a trick of some sort".

Big companies like to make lots of money and look for untapped revenue streams.

Bitcoin is a massive untapped revenue stream.

Who will open the floodgates first, that's the only question ?

Yep, looks like western union and paypal are looking at this new technology as a potential ally - and viewing it as a race to see who can utilize it the most effectively. This is great news (unless you are a bear).

Speaking of fundamentals, any idea why Google Trends is stuck showing Monday's search stats for "bitcoin" and hasn't moved on to show Tuesday as well?
