pretty huge:

The decision by the CFTC, which regulates swaps and futures, constitutes the first recognition by a U.S. federal regulator of a bitcoin financial product, even if the product does not itself involve the exchange of actual bitcoins.

And is a nod to the big boys to start pushing bitcoin around.

note in the article that a prerequisite to the approval was the construction of a non-manipulable index which ended up being a composite of 6 exchanges, presumably spread round the world, which is exactly what i have been arguing needs to be done to prevent the pushing around you indicate.  this is key and should represent an opportunity for more quality well run exchanges to hopefully open up to spread the risk.

Is it the hashrate from the start to now?
I see a big drop and a sudden recover in the last period, maybe it's time to hold some coins.
No.

The start to now is way more impressive

And I think it's a good time to hold.

the key question is whether Bitcoin can withstand the deflation.

personally, my bet is that it can.

Love to hear your arguments.

Is it just me or isnt the reason why GOLD is going down lately because the dollar is going up.

Very little correlation to bitcoin

we are a country born out of war (WWII).  our prosperity was born out of war.  we have continually lived war.  we are a warring nation.

i heard an interesting perspective the other day on the birth of our country: 

we are a country born out of war (WWII).  our prosperity was born out of war.  we have continually lived war.  we are a warring nation.

this one bears close watching:  TLT-20yr UST

according to my cycles we're overdue for a short term bottom here.  thus, i wouldn't get aggressive shorting this.  remember the dead bodies of JGB traders.  otoh, i've said all along that during the next crisis, unlike the last one, i think one of the twin pillars of US hegemony will crack; either the USD or UST's.  i'm still not sure which one so the only way to tell will be to follow the technicals closely as it unfolds.  either way, it could mean big trouble.

Dollar up, everything else down - - > deflation

It looks as if the next phase has started.  Awaiting central banker panic somewhere next year.

I feel the pain for Au Ag bugs. It has been brutal.



wait, weren't you one of my trolls from 2011?

edit:  iirc, you made a comment in the Gold: I smell a trap thread right at the top of the gold price 9/2011.  can't remember exactly what it was but it stuck with me...

i knew it.  here it is:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.500119



That chart looks uber bullish to me.. candle stick analysis. I think gold is in for a crazy bull ride like never before... but when is the question. Maybe bitcoin will pull it up one day as both acting as safe havens.

Hahaha, that's what we call TA Wink

Uh, you do realize it's a zoom into the top in Sept 2011?  Gold promptly collapse $700 from here.
