Dow -407

note how the commodity space and oil have indeed been telegraphing this move.  and i'll say again that gold and silver have been leading as well since 2011.

Reading this thread, you'd think the market was having a dull day.  Then I check out the DJIA, and see WOW!  it's down almost 400 points today!

Bitcoin compares to fiat base money; notes and cons.
...


It's more like M2: base money (which is notes and coins, plus bank reserves) plus most types of bank/money-market account balances.

In a bitcoin economy, you can't really create new on-blockchain bitcoin through fractional reserve, so the purchasing power of all bitcoin would have to more or less match the purchasing power held directly as the economy's unit-of-account in liquid or short-term form (ie, bank accounts), all else being equal. This is muddied by a number of factors, including the fact that *some* fractional reserve would still be possible (just not as much, cuz people would demand to see on-blockchain coin before leverage got too crazy), but I think this is roughly the right way to think about the equivalence.

Dow just dropped to <15900, this is nuts. I've made a little money shorting, but not as much as I should have - the crazy volatility keeps giving me cold feet  Cheesy

whatever you do, don't put stops @16000.  they will criss cross that level many times to take you out.

Cheers for the advice. Yeah I bet it was truly nail-biting trading during the big crash... Do you think we'll see a bottom in the stocks soon, or could we be gearing up for another monumental correction/crash? Anyone's guess I suppose...

anyone's guess:  true dat.

i'd be worried.  there are alot of convergences coming together.  we're due, cycle-wise.

and they told us traditional financial markets were stable.  Roll Eyes

Bitcoin compares to fiat base money; notes and cons. Some important traits of bitcoin is better. Some are not so good. What can we do? Anybody can produce bitcoin notes and coins, and back them with real bitcoins. Even better, we can make cryptocoins and notes with hidden secret keys, they don't need backing. Not possible for fiat.

We do not have credit or debit cards. We don't need them for remote payment. Are there something with cards that is better? In that case, the market will supply bitcoin credit or debit cards, and they will be just as good.

We can't lose this!


Exactly what use would I have for bitcoin notes and coins  Huh
If you have no friends to whom you can give gifts, and never see people in person, you can always use them as cool cold storage wallets
