Hey guys, i let you in on a little secret: the largest and most powerful miners are unionizing. They have agreed to take _%_ profits from sales and place bids with that. No requirement to place bids that are likely to be filled. Just within about $10 of current orders. They can be pulled too, without punishment/scolding from leaders. The idea is increase sense of support = temp stimulus until more USD comes to Gox.
So as long as this stimulus can last, it is a good time to buy! My bet is it can last years. It is a virtual certainty that demand/USD shall return within then.
ps:
insiders who have emails/forum posts from the union "leaders" plz post so folks here don't think im a liar.
I proposed a miners syndicate and outlined a plan to form one which said to do exactly this. Were they reading it? Only the one I wanted to set up was to be based around Netcoin and result in a democracy built up around owning shares in the syndicates.
Anyway I predicted all of this and recommended a syndicate which would allow us to buy shares in the syndicate itself so that it wouldn't result in an elite bunch of banke...er I mean miners.
Here is some of the plan
This is an idea built around a question.
To define a syndicate:
“
A syndicate is a self-organizing group of individuals, companies, corporations or entities formed to transact some specific business, or to promote a common interest. In most cases formed groups aim to scale up their profits. “
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SyndicateDistribution syndicate:
“
A group of investment banks that work to underwrite and sell an initial public offering (IPO) of securities to the market. Investment banks often form syndicates when working on large securities offerings to reduce risk and to increase the potential network of contacts through which to sell the securities. This is especially true in the case of firm commitment offerings, where the distributing syndicate may suffer considerable losses if the full offering cannot be sold.”
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/distributing-syndicate.aspSome advantages I can think of are:
1. Coordinated buying pools so that miners and investors can agree in advance.
2. Buying pools can reveal the demand to mining pools.
3. Political protection should a day come when Bitcoin comes under political attack.
A lot of talk about protecting the blockchain from technical attack or protecting Bitcoin from technical insecurity but what about protecting the blockchain and Bitcoin from political attack? That would mean protecting those who mine and protecting the community itself on the political level. This would require a much more sophisticated level of organization but if we can all agree on a self sustaining cause of protecting Bitcoin or maintaining Bitcoin profitability then we can easily form a syndicate or syndicates around that.
It is critical (if they choose to follow my plan) that they allow the community to buy shares. Otherwise it's concentration of power and that is absolutely the worst possible scenario where a bunch of Asic miners just decide to conspire together for profit in a private syndicate without any community vote or profit sharing in the form of dividends from shares.
