I got crushed today, $10,000s underwater. I don't think it is fun, and don't recommend shorting bitcoin.

Buy and hold.

Vladimir knows something you don't.

1500$ here.  Cry Didn't thought It would surpass 165$ that easy, and that soon.

Why the fuck would you short bitcoin. There's been tons of buying pressure and obvious selling pressure trying to contain it (ask walls, not actually people wanting to sell). There's been a zillion bullish indicators, if you're shorting bitcoin right now you're blind.

But, but all of the pretty lines were saying we were headed down...  Huh

now lets have Bill Gates explain to the world why bitcoin ( or somthing like it  Tongue ) is the future, mmmk?

He's be more likely to try embrace-extend-extinguish. Livecoin anyone? Bingbits? Thank Christ he's not running Microsoft anymore.

If I believe or not doesn't matter.

It does when we're discussing whether things like this are important or not. Your opinions are colored by your beliefs. You're saying that you don't think it's big news (and you're entitled to your opinions), I'm just explaining why, for some of us, it is.

... this is big news ...

If they said they will implement bitcoin in next few months you'd be watching bitcoin's price at 500$ at this moment. And thousands in week or two.

Where we stand at, it's huge news to hear Paypal, WesternUnion etc talking any kind of positive talk about bitcoin. That produces positive stuff in average Joe head, and when enough of average Joes have that view you won't wait long to see Paypal and similar companies giving some deadlines about bitcoin.

The paypal comment means nothing. Just being a CEO. What else could have said ? Fuck bitcoins ? You guys are delusional...

That doesn't matter. They probably will never implement anything bitcoin for all we know. But the fact that he mentioned that they are eyeing bitcoin, true or not, will spark some confidence into bitcoin and boost credibility.

Paypal CEO mentioning bitcoin == positive bitcoin publicity.

OTOH, if you believe in Bitcoin, Paypal will either have to take it on eventually or be eclipsed by someone who does. In this case, this is a very good sign.

I just said that the news weren't as huge as some people said they were. If they said that they pretended to integrate bitcoin by next months/year. That would have been HUGE news. Just a CEO saying they are interesting, no, not huge.
If I believe or not doesn't matter. What matters is if bitcoin suceeds or not. If It does, of course, Paypal will have to take them.. but I'm not man of faith, and even if I have trust in cryptocurrencies, I wouldn't put my hand in the fire for bitcoin.

Of course, you can be the biggest bear in the world but should take some profit that interview can produce for you.

The guy knew specific facts of a topic that even the interviewer said was out of left field. C-level execs at Paypal, the biggest online payment processor, have clearly discussed Bitcoin. That, in and of itself, is massive news. Bitcoin is being recognized and described as 'fascinating', that alone will get converts.

It's a much more bullish development than not acknowledging the significance of bitcoins at all, or not even acknowledging their existence, which is what you typically would've expected CEO's of huge companies to do a year ago.

^What's with the rally in Litecoin? Did Paypall make a statement about Litecoin that I don't know about?

Last few weeks litecoin acts as bitcoin proxy - bitcoin up, litecoin up and vice versa
