If Irving Fisher was here, he'd say the number of pages in this thread has reached a permanently high plateau.

If this had been posted right before 'The Great Deletion of 7777', he would've been just as wrong this time too Wink

this is going to be something else in the next bubble

1) poeple start "locking" there bitcoins in other more stable asstes
2) bitcoin reaches moon
3) everyone unlock there bitcoins on the moon because poeple want to see how there bitcoins bounce around on the moons low gravity
4) MARS!!!

This is just horribly unethical marketing.

"Lock" means "sell".  "Unlock" means "buy".   And no, it doesn't have all the benefits of using bitcoin.  While it's locked you get zero benefits because you don't own any.

At least up until now, the newbies I profited off knew that they were trading bitcoin.  When they bought at the top and sold at the bottom, they were just poor traders.  With coinapult they don't even realize that they're trading.


I think it would be helpful to adoption to abstract buying/selling further (provided the wallets didn't overcharge for these abstracted services).

Here's a thought experiment: Imagine that everybody has visibility of all of their money on a smartphone app.  For simplicity, consider that only dollars and bitcoins exist.  The app has two features:

1.  It displays the market value of each user's money, expressed in whatever currency is currently "dominant," along with the exchange rate between the two currencies.  

2.  There is a slider bar that allows each user to dynamically adjust their personal exposure to anywhere between 0% bitcoins and 100% bitcoins:
                
    0% BTC / 100% USD   <-----|||SLIDERBAR|||----------------------------------->   100% BTC / 0% USD

Assume there is no fee for trading and no slippage.  If it was this easy for everyone, what would people do?  

Bitcoin adoption is all about slowly coaxing the world to move that imaginary slider bar a little further to the right!

So this is just a wallet with a built-in exchange.  Now if this were a decentralized exchange, we might be onto something.

if anything this adds a gr8 deal of usefulness to bitcoin, making it easily interchangeable between a variety of assets

plus there the added bounce for speculators that you're talking about.

we're all gana be rich!

BUY BUY BUY !!!!!!!!

If the price is rising on Chinese exchanges and falling on western exchanges, it could mean Chinese traders are using Bitcoin as a method of obtaining overseas currencies. Buy in China, sell in Europe.
