This is related to the price of btc how?

Well 2 years ago it was the sort of thing that might have moved the price - now - not so much.

It's also economics related - and speculative...  but hey.. mods will mod... and so the thread moved.


This just came to mind: It would be a really good trolling opportunity to come up with a thread which hazek and Bliz bounce at each other because they think it doesn't belong their forum.
Too bad hazek isn't here right now. Wink

That would be fun!

FWIW - the pinned post that the speculation forum "... is for the speculation and discussion of bitcoin's value"  came in 2012 - well after this thread was created.

Anyway I firmly believe that this thread is utterly appropriate for  Economy>Economics>Speculation
reporting! Wink

I knew it! My big toe is always right...   *and* they now accept BTC donations.

Ok.. so I was a mere 2 years early on that one.   Smiley

For my next 'big toe' insight... umm..  dunno.. I got nothing... but I'll let you know when it twinges again!


Hot damn, they do accept bitcoins now.  Awesome,  I love Khan Academy !

(Well this is the speculation section..  I assume I don't need much more than a twinge in my big toe as evidence)

Sal Khan of khanacademy.org has been doing some videos on inflation, deflation, velocity of money, banking etc over the past weeks.

e.g http://www.khanacademy.org/video/deflationary-spiral?playlist=Finance

I feel sure* he's winding up for a big bitcoin exposé  any time now...  let's hope it's a positive one!
(or at least nicely balanced and neutral as his stuff generally appears to be)

Oh what a joy it would be ... people arriving on these forums already economically literate! Wink


*for some extremely speculative value of 'sure'
