to be fair, the exchange infrastructure is pretty damn scary to anyone with real money to lose. and it is hard to know what is happening off the exchanges.

CGB has been flawless from the start. Bitcoin/cryptocoins were designed so people can be their own bank and someone with real money needs to learn to hold their own coins too.
Buy and withdraw it to your own wallets if you plan to hold. That being said I have never had a bad experience with Cryptsy, aside of a period they had to deal with growth issues
(from 2,000 accounts to 200,000 accounts in the last months 2013). They always solve issues promptly and fair.

What does that have to do with anything? How is this any different for some crap altcoin like CGB when my point is that trusting any of these exchanges (definitely Crypsty included) is a huge risk?

And the idea that you send money to immediately buy at any price to remove to cold storage (out of fear) doesn't jive with the idea of accredited investors using real platforms to time their entry correctly.

We shouldn't have to buy NOW simply because our $ are unfit to hold on exchange.

Bitcoin is just not an attractive investment atm. Too much uncertainty, price is still too high, investing in something China holds about 50% of the network in just does not seem like a good idea.

The big investors need an SEC approved fund such as the Winklevoss fund to buy as part of their mutual funds.  Once that happens, retirement money CAN come in.  Until then, retirement money CANNOT come in.

At one point there were 7 billion people in the world and only 4 billion IP addresses. What happened next?

We ran out of IP addresses and despite everyone chastising everyone to switch to IPv6, the network effects were too strong and even still almost nobody has.


Every days we have mined 4500 new bitcoins !  
How much of the new money coming in every day to  exchange ?  ( $5 -10k usd or  less ) Cheesy

No, currently 3,600 new BTC are created a day. http://cryptocoinstats.com/

Not sure it has been posted here already but Asia's richest man is investing.

Despite the price of a bitcoin tumbling from political pressure, the billionaire tycoon has poured an undisclosed amount of money, believed to be worth millions of dollars, into Bitpay, the bitcoin equivalent to PayPal, through his venture capital investment company Horizons Ventures.

That's what I'd call a big investor, and a nice vote of confidence into crypto market.

He invested in Bitpay... he didn't buy bitcoins. So he invested in infrastructure. Thats where the investors are headed.

In all seriousness, why hasn't RandomPedestrianN9 been banned yet? He isn't interested in a discussion, he's only here to troll.

because we should not ban people for their opinions, no matter how unsubstantiated. there's Ignore button for that.

I totally agree on not banning people for their opinions, bitcoin should be carefully scrutinized in every possible way. Valid criticism will only make it stronger. But this person is not adding anything constructive at all. He doesn't even reply when his "logic" is commented upon... And now we see him running around the forum yelling like a little child and calling everyone names. Jesus fucking Christ. Well, at least he doesn't hide what he really is.

+1

So why isn't he banned yet?

No big investor has entered this year for 100kBTC or even 10 kBTC. It would have moved the price.

Why does a big investor want to risk money in an investment where 10% is owned by a complete unknown and 7% is in the clammy hands of a fat french otaku

Troll and FUD spreader!

The big investors ARE coming because we want it.
