Here's a question:

What happens to your nation's currency when you go "all in" on bitcoin?

Meaning, the government of said nation (Cypress? Singapore?) fully embraces bitcoin and allows banks to freely exchange their national currency for bitcoins.

The specific question I have is would that make the relative value of that nation's currency rise or fall versus all the other nations?


I don't think you can know that in advance.

yeah, but you could speculate? please?


That original post I just blurted that out there, and my question is true, I honestly would like to hear some opinions on this topic.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around what might happen when the first nation puts the green light on bitcoin, but my first thought is that other currencies might rush into your currency because of the easy exchange into bitcoin (or something like it).

Basically you would take over the US as the issuer of the new world's reserve currency.

Or maybe you just piss off the other nations enough that they quit dealing with you all together and you end up like a free decentralized and open North Korea?

I don't disagree.  But the shenanigans at Gox are going to be a drag on the market until they get their act together or sink below the water.  

And while the protocol is anti-fragile the price is not.

Fair enough.  

May the price be on your side.

Bitstamp bull trap. 

So everything that is up is a bulltrap, right? The only legit market non-trap move is the crash to 0 it seems

The market just does not gradually head towards $5xx then in the span of an hour spike back up to where it was before naturally... If it was a slow and gradual move then it would be less of a bull trap.

If there was a fixed price, then the currency would skyrocket, but that would be bad for exporters and a trade deficit would grow.

If there was a floating rate, then investment capital would flow in like a spring flood.

Holy crap! $49 spread between Coinbase ad Stamp!  Coinbase is in San Francisco, where the core development team is based, so it appears the smart money is very bullish. New money piling in with linked bank accounts.

The Gox announcement was bad, but the transaction malleability DDOS was much worse and left a smaller dent. Without another disaster, the worst is behind us. If we follow the pattern of earlier rallies, and corrections, we slowly build upward momentum from here, but nothing parabolic for a while.

I don't believe, volume was very low below $600.

No, it wasn't, but it sure as hell was this time and it's still going up. who's gonna panic sell now that hasn't sold already? Who's gonna dump now except for profit takers? The only thing that would bring us back down is more bad news and it would have to be more than FUD.

 

There was 5k below $600, less than 1k below $550. Not a lot. I was arquing upward momentum, not much more dumping. Also there was not a lot of people awake in EU (middle of the night).

There isn't a lot of upward momentum yet, but when the glitch is fixed and withdrawals resume, it will come.
Do you think it will be fixed soon?

Within days at most. The people working on it know the stakes.

Shit the price went down to 300 in my sleep  Roll Eyes

Can anyone fill me in?  Smiley

A couple panic sellers seemed to have triggered a massive whale, who single handedly sold 5000 BTC in a single market order.. lol!
Thanks I just wish I could have taken a long position @  300  Sad

The underlying issues have not been resolved.  

What underlying issue?

One more time...

If it does not affect the protocol implementation or network, it is irrelevant in th long term.
The malleability bug does not.

We have a new class of investment, open and anti-fragile.  Get used to it.

And while the protocol is anti-fragile the price is not.

Never underestimate Bitcoin traders, they'll buy or sell when you think there's no chance in hell one would do it.

There's an overlap between traders and investors. It can create a ratchet effect if they are on net long term bulls, as I believe most short and intermediate term bears are. That four year log chart is compelling.

the big crash is over...deal with it. Hopefully you picked up some semi-cheap coins

if you haven't, it's not too late

and there will be plenty more crashes to come.  bitcoin is still in speculation mode and probably will be for all of 2014 before finally stabilizing as a currency.
