First off I want to know which of you had a Pint and made this quote because it's marvelous!
"Bitcoin is not run by people with hot sexual appetites for hotel maids" one trader and Bitcoin enthusiast told Reuters over a pint of Guinness in London's financial district.
Second off the above reference as well as this one:
'Workers at Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs in London and New York have been visiting online Bitcoin exchanges as often as 30 times a day, according to documents seen by Reuters. Neither bank wanted to comment.'
bother the heck out of me. The last thing we need is somebody with the pockets of G.S. to come in and either push the market down to basically a collapse, try and own the entire market or have their programmers go to work in developing trading programs and totally skew the market and screw over the smaller players. Right now I don't see it being of much interest to them as the volume is just to low but if they came in full bore the only ones getting anywhere with Bitcoin at that point would be Goldman or those early miners who are sitting on thousands of coins.
