And why are they all buying today?
If I'm not mistaken, Bitcoin has recently been officially classed as a commodity in the US (by the CFTC). That means it can be traded like gold or oil at, say, Nymex (oil) or Comex (gold)...
Meanwhile, in Soviet Russia possession of Bitcoin (let alone trading) is about to become a criminal offense
No... they are banning it's use for buying things... Like they are doing with the USD, etc unwittingly which is amusing to me.
