That zerohedge article seems actually surprisingly believable... I hate to say.
I feel like since 2008 the fed has been trying to play the entire economy like one of those single-plot-line RPG games in which you are given blatantly obvious hints of what to do while simultaneously trying to make you feel like you decided to do it.
BIS: Hey there's a bubble...
FED: Yeah toootally a bubble...
BIS: You should pop it...
FED: NO! Why would we ever want to do that
FED: Its the market participants job to do that
FED: You hear that market participants?
BIS: ...
FED: Also we're not making our intentions clear either so yeah you're out of luck.

It would seem that the spike of new members in Reddit's /r/bitcoin was caused by the rumor of islamic terrorists using bitcoin. At least, the top thread and several other threads are on that topic:

I’m sure they have more sophisticated algorithms ranking this info, and i bet it has a lot to do with the boost from the long weekend.
I bet the fact that thousands of people sat down at some social event this weekend in the US and talked Bitcoin.
If you monitor r/bitcoin you will have noticed the readers have been steadily dropping from an average of over a 1000 r/Bitcoin readers to the low 400’s during peak hours (and recovering after the SR coin sales), but on the 4th of July, there were over 3,000 readers there.
I bet that helped boost this attention, not to mention all the bull news.
This terror funding is just a false flag, the US president is openly wanting to fund these trouble makers. And not to mention the US left bombs, guns, helicopters and Humvees unattended for the taking, and un protected banks holding all of Saddam,s USD cash assets.
I bet the US even gave them GPS coordinates and a time line to claim the bonuses.

In recent years has there ever been a Zerohedge article's prediction that came true?
The most infamous predictions were concerning the Greek bailouts, that more would be needed, and yes, they got that one right.

In recent years has there ever been a Zerohedge article's prediction that came true? The formula seems to be picking up on a comment made by an official, creating a disastrous scenario out of it and then it's topped off by an avalanche of comments that are the same regardless of the subject matter.
If everything on there came true we'd already be back in the trees munching our own faeces.
albeit FED wont have the balls to do it anyho but still, it's funny to observe officials being totally lost.

Jesus H, why hasn't anyone kicked this loser Brock Pierce off of the Bitcoin Foundation yet? Hasn't he caused enough controversy yet?http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/07/08/dollar-backed-digital-currency-aims-to-fix-bitcoins-volatility-dilemma/
Also, how do you have a Realcoin backed to every dollar when there are $65 billion of them (dollars, that is) printed fresh every month? Are they going to 'print' 65 billion Realcoins every month too?
Stupidest. Crypto. Idea. Evar.
You give them your dollars, they give you the realcoins. Then 5 years down the line, they revalue or say that they're no longer backing the coin with dollars (like the US govt did with gold) but they're still worth a dollar. Then everyone else kicks themselves for being so stupid and Brock Pierce puts on his scuba gear and goes for another dive off his yacht anchored in the Caribbean.
LOL, FYI, when Bitcoin stops being volatile, you know its reached market saturation, Brock Pierce's solution is actuary a tax on people who don't understand Bitcoin's volatility is a feature.
Exactly, you don't often hear investors complaining when the stocks in their portfolio go to record heights (unless their sighing about needing to find new ideas to swap their current ideas for because of overvaluation but that is a luxury problem).

Thanks for the tradingview suggestions, Im going to take a lurk there. In the meanwhile, I have a proposal for the next voting poll:
How could perform bitcoin during this week?:
A/ At the rate of Random Motion as Discontinuous Linearity radioactive decay
B/ At the rate of Periodicity as Sequential Linearity day and cryptonight
C/ In degree Fractal Repetition as Novelty of Patterns repetition across scale
D/ In homeostasis Regulation as Temporal Embedding limit cycle basins
E/ Via Scalar Cohesion as Energetic Synchronizing phase conjugation
F/ Following Morphic Field Process as Process Non-Linearity co-invention
I firmly vote for C

Anarchy on a larger scale often arises involuntarily after the collapse of a centralized government with a complex administrative infrastructure
Anarchy does not arise after the collapse of a government.That's a flawed as saying that atheism arises after a church burns down.
brilliant analogy! I'm going to borrow it
One thing I noticed about people who claim that government is inevitable and anarchy "can't work" is that they seem to always believe in a permanent, unchangeable human nature and they are very confident that they personally know what it is.
Of course human nature is bad in their eyes. Which then dictates that in order to protect ourselves from the effects of the bad human nature of other people, we need to create a very powerful institution, endow it with a legal monopoly on the initiation of force and populate it with
