The addition of 3 new assets on Gemini and being licensed by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) shows Gemini is making a wider spectrum of crypto available to institutional investors, also they offer custody of the institutions investments which has been a big concern for many.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeldelcastillo/2018/05/14/winklevoss-brothers-bitcoin-exchange-adds-zcash/#54449efc6b98

Today another news article was released in regards to coinbase offering 4 new services that will include a custody service for institutional investors.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/15/coinbase-bets-big-on-institutional-investors.html

I don't think its a coincidence that both of these big name crypto exchanges are pin pointing their target market to attract institutional clients, it really does show that there is interest from big money investors. If ONLY retail money can push BTC to 20k, then what will institutional money do? Does that 45k-100k target seem so unlikely?

We will see what happens for the rest of 2018 but I think we could be in for some fireworks.

DC Blockchain Convo in March was full of Wall Street reps. assuring us that loaded clients cannot WAIT to get into BTC.

I'm sure the Futures fiasco scared off most of them....but only temporarily.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"


Interesting that the bitcoin (or crypto) lambo meme has some foundations in "fake" news.   Cry Cry  Saddens me.

Don't stop buying those shitcoins now, Bob.  Tim Draper needs a new set of golf clubs and John McAfee needs an entirely new life.

This is some nasty whipsaw action. I got stopped out of my last long. Sitting on the sidelines now. I'm leaning sort of bullish still but I'm not gonna risk getting my stops run again until bulls are more decisive.

Anyone else notice the ESF Jews trying to rig the price of lumber into a bubble in order to prop up the housing bubble by rigging material costs?  That moment when you can't figure out if r0ach is the smartest or dumbest person in the room.

This is fake news.  

How much more spam must I endure from shitcoin shills who completely overlook the fact transaction validators are always designed to terminally centralize over time and it's 100% impossible to create a decentralized digital currency?  Yea, bitcoin is an open entropy system...except for the fact the only function this variable serves in real world practice is transferring a metaphorical baton of complete or almost complete monopoly from one guy to the next.

This attribute serves no purpose in decentralization due to things like foundry startup costs, asymmetric bell curve's effect on chip design, asymmetric power costs globally, the list goes on for hours.  The only way bitcoin can function is a slumlord technocracy where a tiny amount of people who have access to both large amounts of capital and large amounts of brain power (which can just be bought with the capital), then enslave everyone else in a permissioned ledger monopoly because the amount of transaction validators is so small collusion is the norm instead of the exception.  

That and tokens are non-fungible and transactions are not blinded, so you need to go beg one of the 1-4 or so transaction validators to allow you to transact at all and not put you on their cartel black list which is 100% guaranteed to be run by some sort of global govt entity.  Hello, state.  May I spend today?  Nope, we just blacklisted all of your shitcoin tokens.  Your net worth is now zero and will never be able to be spent.  You may as well send them to a null address to destroy them, but we won't even allow you to do that.

You know what this thread is also about?

It's about people coming in and contributing something, anything, of value rather than simply being an asshat and criticizing the purpose/value of this thread.

My fault. Thought it was "a Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion".

Rule #1:  Consider the SOURCE.

Well, after watching a series of Consensus livestreams I've concluded that you'd have to be a fooking nutter to think crypto's going anywhere but eventual gargantuanosity by now.

I hope the pisstaking ICO dead wood gets erased along the way though.

"CENTRE is a governed network powered by price-stable crypto assets"

Governed?  Where can I sign up for some of these imaginary, valueless tokens governed by Jews?  I've always wanted to combine the worst parts of bitcoin - being imaginary, valueless tokens - with the worst parts of fiat!  I really need to dump this wretched sound money, physical silver and buy some of this stuff.

Sorry, Tera - not a 'well-researched' article:

'Case in point, coder Peter Saddington, 35, bought a Lamborghini three years ago for $200,000 with 45 bitcoins'

And years ago, the price of a bitcoin was....?

not sure what price was 3 years ago (can't be bothered to google it) but it sure as hell wasn't  $4,444.44. not even in the ballpark.
"not well researched" is an understatement.
 these clueless hacks are such morons when it comes to writing stories about crypto.

I think that people who dream of buying lambos are probably talented in something else then investing. In investment perspective, buying a lambo is one of the most foolish decisions. It is difficult to operate in normal circumstances, wasteful, impractical and most importantly have a quickly depreciating value. It would be hard to take someone serious who drives a lambo and defines himself as an investor. A football player, lottery winner, drug trafficker.. sure.. but an investor, no way. People who are talented in investing and love the game, would probably have a involuntary nervous tick if they would buy and drive a lambo.
