greeks have no idea of bitcoin imo.

no idea and no means to buy bitcoins.

Greeks may have no idea about bitcoin but I would say the majority.

But, there is idea and mean to buy bitcoin, when you are in a situation where your goverment will hold everything you own and/or you can't access all your cash in your bank because your country's economy is going with the wind bye-bye, you will know the real means of bitcoin.

Guys, let's say it how it is. Nobody is lining up to buy bitcoin... because with bitcoin there is no need to. It's so much more convenient than cash.

The main driver for bitcoin prices seem to be Greek buyers. Joshua Scigala, co-founder of Vaultoro.com, told Reuters this week that his company has seen a 124 per cent pick up in web hits from Greek IP addresses.

All figures point to Greece being nowhere in BTC terms. Check it out on localbitcoins. The listings are pitifully thin compared to other countries. That 124 % increase might amount to the same number of people you could fit on the top floor of a bus.

Do you think that Greece will create the next BTC spike?

I only hope they are not totally broken after all the government mess with the money

I don't think you are honest about your basic motives regarding bitcoin. I'm a 44 year old nuclear physics-guy.

Is there some sort of causality I'm missing here?

Jorge has successfully identified enough BTC scams over the years to warrant respect. Sadly, there will continue to be scammers as long as BTC attracts happy-clappy noob idiots who think they are financial geniuses.

The (not recent) rapid rise of the Bitcoin price attracted the greedy. The greedy tend to be the easiest to scam which attracted the scammers.

I still don't trust your motives, I still think you lie about what makes you scan the Internet harder than google, looking for the word "bitcoin" and a negative slant, lol.

I think Jorge wants to not believe in Bitcoin but subconsciously recognizes that it is likely one of the most important events of the 2010s and probably 2020s also. Some people just can't help being in the right place at the right time despite their greatest efforts

I was looking at the entire bitcoin price chart, kindly provided by some posts here, and I realized... there are two ways one can present it or look at it.

As a failure... or success.

I chose to see success.

If we want back in time, to 2012 and we said to bitcoiners:

Would you be happy with

2013: 40-60$
2014: 140-180$
2015: 220-300$

...etc, everybody would be "HEEELLLL YEAAAHHH"

The only reason why there is even a slight perception of failure, is because people have seen higher prices in the past, even if these were created artificially. If price was going up gradually and organically, this wouldn't have happened and all bitcoiners would be happy / there would be no room for "bears".

If it goes 250 again in the next 24-48 hours, I would assume that it will be on the success chart but not not that kind of speculation I assume. It might go bumpy first before reaching back to the best peak.

Darn, over 250. Trolls will be here with their graphs any minute now.

You mean trolls like Adam pointing for 32,000$ Cheesy

It's his thread so he defines what's clean, good and wholesome.

In fact, anyone who disagrees with him is a filthy troll.

That’s what I’m and that’s also the reason why you felt in love with me. For being a filthy troll!

Stop that, you digital hussie! My wife is home!

I disagree with Jorge on most things wrt bitcoin, but he has more sensible stuff to say than the average poster. I am glad he is on the forum, despite his pessimistics BTC view.

Same here. Its healthy to have people with opposing ideas, for that is what can help grow. Now if Jorge were to start posting my little ponies BS...well he would lose credibility with me then.

Jorge has always provided a different perspective without trolling. I think most people appreciate his commentary even if they disagree with the content. I still don't believe that he is a bystander only and doesn't own any coins like his signature proclaims.

Jorge, always here to cheer us up! You must throw fantastic parties during carnival in Brazil! Grin

I helped organize a couple of them when I was a Ph. D. student in the US. But the Brazilian Students Association was so popular that the president was from Portugal. So that does not add much to my resumé, I am afraid.

Well Jorge, what you say does not make tactical sense. So, I believe it's actually true!
But you must admit, you always come to the party with a sad face. I was sarcastic in my previous post.

I don't think you are honest about your basic motives regarding bitcoin. I'm a 44 year old nuclear physics-guy.

Still, I remember you melted and was actually ironic about yourself some posts ago.

I still don't trust your motives, I still think you lie about what makes you scan the Internet harder than google, looking for the word "bitcoin" and a negative slant, lol.

I also know that trolling as propaganda doesn't work Wink

EDIT: Shit, I use the word "I" and "still" too much. (Like Donald Trumph in his campaign.)

Actually, Jorge has been oddly constructive lately. I don't know what's happened. Maybe some first year student has "inspired" him to cheer up. Or maybe he bought at the bottom and is waiting to BUY A BOAT!!!

What scam Jorge managed to bust Huh

I only see him posting here in speculation and in off topic sometimes, but not in marketplace, and I see no reference about busted scams in his trust.

Unless you meant something else when you say he busted scams Huh
