LITERALLY SHAKING posted:It's like a pyramid scheme, but dumber. This was and still is my opinion, but my cousin wound up having to use bitcoin in Bhutan while he was volunteer doctoring over there. Then some travelers in Nepal gave him another $800 in bitcoin because they didn't have any american or local cash on them. Apparently using local currency is hard in places like that, so wealthy white people use bitcoin because its actually more stable. Still a giant Chinese ponzi scheme.

GoGoGadget posted:Bitcoin chat: What happened that caused the worth of these to go from like nothing at the beginning to $1300? There's a few things. First, just like in the last >$1000 bubble, the top exchange has solvency issues and has no way to deposit or withdraw actual currency. So its price is 100-300 higher than other exchanges. Some other exchanges as well are having deposit/withdraw issues because any bank that follows any money laundering laws refuses to work with bitcoiners. This causes price increases because people are desperate to get coins off of one exchange to a place where they can actually withdraw money. This happened when Mount Gox was going down as well. Second, china is pumping the price through manipulation. Some of the largest chinese exchanges have been falsifying volume and orders to drive up prices. China cracked down a bit on them a while back, though, which caused another spike. Essentially much of the same stuff is going on that happened during the last price spike with the added issue of almost complete lack of use. Bitcoin's actual trading volume is nearly zero on a practical scale. The price could stay at the peak simply because there isn't enough trading to actually crash it (frisbee on the roof). At the same time, since there isn't anyone actually exchanging it for real currency, the $ value is effectively meaningless because it isn't convertible. If you can actually get cash out of bitcoin you'll be lucky to get 1/2-2/3 the "market" rate.

West Wing staffers have even fumed about news coverage of the Easter Egg Roll. First, it was that Trump’s White House wouldn’t be smart enough to pull it off. Then, it was that no one would be there. And after the Easter Egg Roll went off without a hitch, “no one wanted to give us any credit,” said one senior administration official. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Apr 27, 2017 |

Any legitimate volume (and the BS trade volume) disappeared when regulators got involved. At the same time they were deliberately spiking the price, the owners of the chinese exchanges publicly discussed that they'd start measuring price differently (in microbits rather than full coins) to try to hide the volatile price swings and surges from regulators.

I tried to buy Bitcoin last month and it was a loving bitch. I can't buy from sites like coinbase.com because I live in Germany but I'm a US citizen so I don't have any German ID. So I had to buy from users and they won't let you buy it with PayPal unless you have your bank linked to it so you can have the funds available in the account because of rampant charge backs I guess. Then you have to send them a picture of your ID, a picture of you holding your ID, etc...it's dumb as hell.

Also if people made a run or even a sizable withdrawal from bitcoin markets, go ahead and expect either a massive price crash or for the cash to supposedly back it to just not exist.

Hahaha. Has a retired general ever been courtmartialed? As a retiree he's still subject to UCMJ, no? I don't know how anyone who spent their entire career in MI can sign their SF-312 and SCI NDAs, or whatever other weird poo poo a retired general has to sign and think that taking employment from Russia (and then not disclosing it later) is a smart thing to do. He's gotta be one of the dumbest men alive. Flying_Crab fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Apr 27, 2017 |
