NotLambchop must hold the record for creating the most bitcointalk accounts.
And for being the most annoying, etc.

You of all people should know that this obviously is not one of Lambchop his sockpuppet accounts. Lamb never changes in the way he replies, no matter how many accounts he uses. The poster above does not fit Lamb's profile.

And to be frank: the guy is likely right, even though he created an account to say 'just that'. There was a topic about the blockchain (the thing that holds real value), with the OP telling others that major financial companies are interested in the tech, but not in Bitcoin. What followed were two dozen people telling him that he could not be right one or another, because they have so much interest in Bitcoin being adopted by those entities. Whatever it is, many people here even ignore the evidence if it is right in front of them - they're just that far gone.

You are wrong on both counts.

Nasdaq are using the bitcoin blockchain.

Nasdaq is one of the first multinational financial services companies to explore ways to leverage the blockchain in a non-currency manner.

This doesn't mean Nasdaq is using actual Bitcoins as currency. But Nasdaq will be interacting with the Bitcoin system to slip data into the blockchain.

Nasdaq's experiment is a limited one. On Monday, the Wall Street Journal referred to Nasdaq's pre-IPO market, which launched in January 2014, as "a fledgling marketplace." But if it works out, expect to see it use the blockchain concept elsewhere.

They have said multiple times that they are not going to use Bitcoin. They are researching the use of "Blockchain Technology" for record keeping.

Another (same) retard creating a new account for senseless FUD.

The blockchain doesn't work without Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is the fuel for the blockchain, it's the native currency in which the blockchain guards (miners) get their rewards for running the entire fucking thing. Don't you get it? There is no blockchain without Bitcoin. The journalists are retarded, so you are. Everyone that uses the blockchain IS USING Bitcoin indirectly, which means sooner or later all those moves will translate in higher price.
