I've noticed there are quite a lot of old members with no activity since registration in the list. Not only have they no posts, but haven't even logged in since their registration in 2011... :-) I think these "one-time" users' accounts should be removed.
Among other, some nice usernames might be made available this way... :-)
(No, I'm not interested in any of them. )
[edit] Most of them are not interesting at all, I'm afraid. The main purpose of the proposed action is to clean up the list and reduce its size.

Fuck, really? How can there be someone so retarded? Dumping 2k coins on campbx is like dumping 400k coins at Gox, who is so clueless to that?

The guy that took the price to $0 at campbx just burnt a huge pile of money. And he did a very nice favor to all those that had low bids placed. Imagine how happy is the guy that had a 500 coin bid at $0.5, and never dreamt of it being filled... Well, it was filled

No! That's not how we do it. $260,000 per coin!

yeah precisely investors have a wide range of options to invest, which is why they wouldn't put there money into bitcoin. honestly i am bitcoin enthusiast and I think that crypto currencies can actually change the global economy as we know it, but if i were a portfolio manager i wouldnt put money into bitcoin even if i were looking for alternative investments. there are so many other things you can invest in. in this stage we shouldnt be thinking of crypto currencies as investments we should be thinking of them as currencies that is where there inherent value comes from, its derived from the fact that they can and will progressively improve as mediums of exchange, transcendent modern banking systems.

What?  There is no metric for how any commodity should be valued.  What is the metric for the correct price of gold?  

Whaaaat??? the FBI is involved??
OMGG sell quickly!

But yea... welcome to the forum man, i hope your future posts will make more sense...

you know that feeling you get in your gut after something has had a good run and you have the feeling that the ground underneath you is about to crumble?

that's when you sell, not when you are already down 10%+ - nothing wrong with taking profit.

What does the green line signify, and how did you calculate it?

Nice to see reason simply oozing through these forums. You do realize the Winklevii have investments in other Bitcoin businesses, they will not shoot themselves in the foot and compromise their investment.

The beautiful thing with bitcoin is that you may never need to liquidate them, you just simply spend them if the acceptance is enough wide, means only money inflow, no outflow

According to the chart, it looks like a possible stabilization (end of this wave), at least for the next few days.

Of course it will be safer after several hours.

Great, another episode of Mad Magazines Troll vs Troll.

If I'm reading the filing correctly, this is essentially an ETF with BTC as a base asset. So, if this gets approved and listed, everyone will be able to buy bitcoins in any amount through their favorite broker. Institutional investors into BTC, anyone?

Trust investors will be also able to convert this instrument into underlying BTC in 10K increments. Again, this gives a clean and easy access to BTC for institutional investors.

And for every additional 50K units the trust issues, it has to buy 10K BTC on the open market. Once this works, resulting demand for BTC will be absolutely unimaginable for anyone involved in BTC trading right now. 260 usd/btc bubble top? We haven't seen nothing yet, mark my words.

No you are mistaken.  The basket is 50,000 shares = 1,000 BTC but the purpose of the basket is merely to fund the IPO (and later allow issuance and redemption of shares).  This is a filing for a PUBLIC offering on NASDAQ.  If they wanted to have a private offering for high net worth individuals, no registration would be necessary they could operated under a Reg D exemption.  If approved and listed on an exchange it would be available to anyone with a brokerage account in any amount even a single share (0.2 BTC worth).  Now pre-IPO access will be limited to high net worth individuals and institutional investors but honestly that is the case for just about any IPO.

It may help to look at how physical gold trusts, existing financial product which is very similar, work. For a physical gold trust, to issue new shares or redeem existing shares requires a basket of thousands of shares.  This is almost never done by anyone other that institutional investors.  However any retail investor can use their "normal" brokerage account and TRADE existing shares of the trust (TRADE not ISSUE or REDEEM).  One could even trade a single share (although brokerage fees make that uneconomical). The ability to issue or redeem baskets of shares allows the fund to remain balanced.  Based on the S-1 this is very very similar structure just replace Gold with Bitcoin.
