Where can we find the net short positions on Zhoutong's exchange? Chicago Mercantile Exchange or something will announce such statistics

Thanks in advance.

His argument is that these details will reveal too much about Bitcoinica's vulnerability, because there's literally two exchanges. Without knowing enough about how all this works, I suspect he's right. But that's giving the man a lot of credit where he's earned only some.

we have way too many Bitcoin theorists around here arguing that speculative capital and early adopter hoarding is destructive to the economy.

Oh the fucking irony. "Shhhh, no speculative behavior, here!!"

yes, bought silver btwn $9-12 and sold at $44. bought gold at $550 and sold btwn $1550 and $1650. nice healthy returns all plowed into Bitcoin. play money.

if you really understood how money works and that we are in the depths of a fiat currency crisis you would understand that gold/silver were fundamental investment plays. most around here do understand that except you.

i also never said i wasn't a speculator. personally i don't care about parsing the diff categories. i prefer to say i'm a money infuser into Bitcoin. how's that work?
