The Emerging Bitcoin Civil War.  

It looks more like a start of a classic divide and conquer tactic.

So many things that are suggestive and untrue in that article..

Anyway, if regulation did work for the commercial sector we didn't need bitcoin in the first place.

Land of SHELL (Netherlands) it's € 1,765, or € 1,834 for super.
In Saudi Arabia it's € 0,087.

But, I prefer bitcoin  

I can't agree with that.

17:20 They explain that they're promoting gold&silver against inflation and, initially, bitcoin as a hedge against gold&silver manipulation.

Why do people comparing tullips with bitcoin  ?.

Back in the 17th century, rich people in Holland bought tullips to show off their wealth. The tullips had to be imported from Turkey, they where rare.
Back then, having tullips in your garden is the same thing as having a Lamborgini in front of your house. Looks nice, but it's kind of useless. Nothing more, nothing less.

Oh btw, back then we had gold and silver coins. With other words, there was no reason to store your wealth in flower bulbs.

RTLZ / RTL business (private news coop) is less positive. Actually it's quite negative.

3 RTLZ headlines from today (roughly translated);

Schoenmaker: 'bitcoins zijn uiterst vaag en uiterst riskant'
Schoenmaker: bitcoins are very vague and extremely risky

'Bitcoin zal niet lang onder ons blijven'
Bitcoin won't stay long among us.

'Als belegger zou ik snel uit bitcoins stappen'
As an investor I should step out of bitcoins as soon as possible

They probably get sponsor money from big banks...

The title is correct, but the rest is a biased opinion.
Technically speaking, the pirate behind sr. wasn't a drug dealer, he was a broker. The pirate sr programmer made a platform so that drug dealers could sell there stuff on-line, with a third party for save transactions.
Second, it's not just about politics, it's a lot more than that. For example, in the medical encyclopaedic cannabis is a medicine, but it's a illegal product in most countries. Same thing with opium. Besides that, the most lethal drugs, like herion, are created by pharmaceutical companies, or government controlled research departments.
Sr. gave people the option to choose between the two.

Fuck Godwin, you can play that game with any iconic figure (infinite monkey theorem?). I know that it's a slipperyslope fallacy. I'm just saying that fear is a bad advisor and that certain propaganda can be vey harmful. (Maybe I should just have said that in the first place:)).

FUD is what placed Hitler to power.

There's at least 21 Trillion dollar stored in taxhavens.

The world's super-rich have taken advantage of lax tax rules to siphon off at least $21 trillion, and possibly as much as $32tn, from their home countries and hide it abroad – a sum larger than the entire American economy.

In fact, some experts believe the amount of assets being held offshore is so large that accounting for it fully would radically alter the balance of financial power between countries. The French economist Thomas Piketty, an expert on inequality who helps compile the World Top Incomes Database, says research by his colleagues has shown that "the wealth held in tax havens is probably sufficiently substantial to turn Europe into a very large net creditor with respect to the rest of the world."

That's a shelter!

Yep, he is.

For them, that's like opening pandora's box.

Now I know how it feels to play high stakes poker  . I'm used to swings, but not this large. The last 2 weeks was real rollercoaster.
Still up overall, so I can't complain.

What do we have?
-Crypto currencies are a threat to fiat.
-Mass media creating momentum with there bubble-crash articles.
-Multiple sites under attack.
-Goverment controlled botnets (stuxnet, flame, etc)
I also believe that TPTB don't give up there power without a fight. They have a motive.

I dunno. Fuel enough for some theories.

I thought that the bubble popped back in 2011.

I removed my lowball buy order a couple of days ago.

Besides the manipulation (ddos), these things are just growing pains.
