How long before PIMCO starts buying bitcoins... Probably years, but we are definitely getting closer

Bitcoin-Central is in a partnership with a french bank, so is not susceptible to these problems. Bitcoin.de will have a similar status soon.

Interesting, first time he mentions bitcoin
Personally I don't see any correlation between the drop in btc and the drop in gold. Sure there already is rotation, and it's increasing, but it's still negligible to explain the price of gold. And then you would have to explain the same way the drop in oil, wheat, ...

Yeah, I don't see any spreads between paper and physical. At least on eBay. So far.
its all in his mind.
FWIW, I see something. In french stores, the premium on the most liquid gold coin (20F Napoléon) was 18% on Friday. I don't know if it's something general, I'm not used to track premiums.
But anyway, still quite impressive.

A good introduction to bitcoin, on the biggest economic channel in France, by the biggest libertarian journalist of the network (still mainstream). There was a second segment, interview of my favourite french "doomer" analyst, the same day available here

Really glad to read this. Dan Kaminsky was quite vocal a few years back about bitcoin, for the reasons he explains. Having him preaching the qualities of bitcoin from a security standpoint can only give more confidence to people
