That is something Tether could resolve. (already used by Bitfinex and Poloniex)

AFAIK, Tether is Brock Pierce's creation, formerly (briefly) called RealCoin, and is supposed to be an altcoin pegged to the dollar. That is, a dollar IOU.

So Tether may be just a competitor to PayPal, wrapped to look like a cryptocoin?

And maybe Coinbase is already a competitor to Paypal, wrapped to look like a bitcoin exchange?

I see this as a calm before the "storm" that I guess march (and maybe april) is gonna be. It's gonna be fun seeing what happens.
Edit: and the price is creeping upwards! Hooray!

Crypto Swap Exchange

I love stable price. That way I can use my Bitcoin for shopping with no regret. I don't have a question mark in my mind if Bitcoin go up 50$ next hour.

mtGox is how I got my coins. All the other ways I tried became non-options just before I could. I would have bought a lot at $5 if it hadn't been for intersango dying. I resorted to bitcoin central which became my go to exchange which then got hacked and disappeared for ages. Eventually I bit the bullet and wired to Japan.

Intersango's break-up with metrobank is the reason I'm not a bitcoin millionaire Sad

I spent the whole of 2012 wanting to buy loads but not wanting to spend insane amounts on bank transfer fees.

(edit: the irony of handing cash to a bank to buy bitcoins was too much for me to bare, so I didn't do it until 2013. Got in before all the fireworks though Cheesy

). Also, yes MtGox taught us not to keep money in exchanges, as did Tradehill, bitcoin.de, bitcoincentral, bitstamp (even though most of those services eventually returned their users coins). Apparently no matter how many times we learn this lesson, it has to get retaught!

he did some good stuff before.

Such as? (Genuinely asking).

He taught us that: "never trust exchanges" Grin

Isn't that enough?

ps: I didn't use mt.gox before ( I didn't even know bitcoin it back then).

1200 dollar coins make a 245 dollar price seem low. If it wasn't for that we'd be seen as making the steadily growing and much needed tech that we are.

If we don't have Mt-Gox we wouldn't be able to see 1250$ coins. Mark Karpeles' most useful work is the November 2013 bubble. The only "good stuff" I can think of is this.

Wow, price was really stable today, comparatively to recent history. $3 range, it seems. And the trolls are nowhere to be seen/heard. Perfect.

Trolls are everywhere if you look close. It's irrelevant with the price. Maybe their noise ratio is though.

Not everybody can dance with the devil, but this guy knows how to gain trust and use it for his evilish plans.

Such a nerd life.

You don't think what? Mark Karpeles is a great guy, he did a lot of things for BTC. He fucked up really bad in the end but this was inevitable.

Are you saying he made a deal with evil?
