they're just going to try to pump up the bubble before it crashes
the fact that the doings of people with billions of dollars is of no interest to you is really telling
and get in on it
keep your money
what they are doing is not even open to the general public yet, and thus probably cannot be used for what you just described
they said they don't have a strategy but will open a trading desk for it as customers want it
exactly
there is a ramification to that, I spelled it out earlier
surely you missed it
it's too volatile for them themselves to invest in
that's a great misunderstanding
volatility does not preclude investment
the problem is it's not real, there's nothing backing it, and fraud / laundering is so easy
is that what you believe, that people with near infinite money are only investing in index funds and treasury bonds? who told you that?
if I steal your bitcoins, I don't have to sell them.
I can just delete them
true, but if I steal your gold coins I could just melt them
and dump it down a storm drain
yes but gold is much harder to steal
is it?
given it is a physical thing and not an easily laundered / dirty currency.
NOT MANY MECHANISMS IN PLACE TO SHORT BTC
if the bitcoin you are buying has ever touched an illegal transaction
you are totally fucked
same with dollars
given that there is a record of the bitcoin attached to the bitcoin....
PROBLEM: NOT KNOWING WHEN THE IRRATIONAL HYPE WILL DIE DOWN PROPELLING SOYCOIN
despite your list of reasons bitcoin should have a value of $0/coin, it has current value of $17,000/coin. Obviously there is something you do not know, or else you would be rich right now. The test - your personal test - is to see if you will admit that to yourself or reassure yourself with your own misunderstandings
people are stupid
yes they are, so why doesn't your financial strategy factor for that?
BITCOIN IS DRIVEN BY STRAIGHT BEHAVORIAL ECONOMICS. LITTLE ELSE.
HOW DO YOU MEASURE THIS?
they won't let you cash out at a fast enough rate from each exchange to make money
YES @Death Strike's Bat MAKING IT ILLIQUID
from short term investments.
so?
they don't have the liquid
and they physically can't
real estate is illiquid, yet people love to invest in it
given the extrmeely slow transaction time
