The tiny difference is that no one is trying to convince Brazilians to "invest" their money in reals; quite the opposite.  And no one is promising that the real will "go to the moon" -- like Andreessen, Silbert, the Winkles, and all other bitcoin peddlers are doing.

Every currency, whether it's fiat, gold, or Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme.  You either choose to barter for goods and services instead to avoid that, or you pick the pyramid that functions as the best store of value or potential for future returns.

I've been researching this MMM ponzi and it may have the potential to reach critical mass, soak up all liquidity and go supernova before collapsing into a black hole.  I can easily see how non-sophisticated investors could fall for something like this. 

I don't think we even have the ability to stop this by shorting. We might even make it worse if it goes too high by being force-liquidated into a margin squeeze.  I'm back in fiat, lending out dollars at ~30% interest and watching this thing play out. It will end in tears.

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
Please let the Chinese know that I would like to sell at $350 around the middle of November and start buying Christmas presents. They have around three weeks to move the price up $55. Oh, ask them if they can drop it for me some time in January so I can buy back in. lol

BitcoinInternet makes the MMM scam global and more difficult to stop. 


The tiny difference is that no one .gov is trying to convince Brazilians to "invest" their money in reals; quite the oppositeAnd no one is promising that the real will "go to the moon" -- like Andreessen, Silbert, the Winkles, and all other bitcoin peddlers are doing.
2 years and 7k posts later, stolfi still knows nothing. Well invested time.

Why you Bit-coin warriors so angry all time?

Looking at the charts and the Stamp wall makes me think we are either going to retest the previous high around 318 very shortly or go back down to the 275-280 level to reload. I am hoping the latter just so we can have a healthier rise. I am not planning on buying or selling any of these targets.

The Stamp wall is looking less impressive at these levels so a rise through that heavy ask side needs to be led by some other exchange.

How many people committed suicide (or were thrown back into abject, inescapable poverty) when the Brazilian command and control fiat monetary system last collapsed (for the umpteenth time in a row)??

Why do you bring that up whenever bitcoin's faults and miseries are pointed out?  Do you think that somehow bitcoin will be a better monetary system than the Venezuelan bolivar or the Zimbabwean dollar?  Do you think that it will end economic exploitation of the poor by the rich?  Looking at its history and economy, I see no reason to expect those things.  Why are you so sure that the 21 million limit will never be lifted, or that there will never be a negative interest tax on blockchain accounts?  Why are you so sure that it will not be superseded by some other cryptoscam in a few years time?

We can't even manage to lift the 1 mb blocksize cap and you think it's possible to increase the 21 M limit? 

I mean it's not impossible, but if the block size controversy is any indication, it would take years and then there would be plenty of time to bail before it happens.

There seems to be a basic economic principle that some people just can't seem to comprehend or accept: CAPITAL IS MOBILE.  Wealth flows from areas where it is less free to areas where it is more free.  It always has and always will.  This is a good thing. If capital wasn't mobile, we'd all be slaves.

Many millions died in WW! and in WW!!. And many in the bubonic plague epidemics of the middle ages, and many of the Spanish infuenza. 

... So? Dos that make scams less obectionable?

it makes your wishing we all burn in hell seem a bit hypocritical when the connection between any individual here and MMM is about the same as that between you and any ills committed by the Brazilian government.

Expecting the building of a plateau at ~$325 for the rest of the year. Before that (if enough sellers!) set-back to $255 easily possible.
