Directly following last month’s Bitcoin 2013 conference event in San Jose, CA that brought good revenue into the state, California’s Department of Financial Institutions decided to issue a cease and desist warning to conference organizer Bitcoin Foundation for allegedly engaging in the business of money transmission without a license or proper authorization.

... Then, they fight us ...

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.

Re: 2013-04-15 Jim Rogers: Gold Drop Partially Caused by Bitcoin Drop

Interesting, first time he mentions bitcoin Smiley

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, ...

Uncorrelated stuff also happen  Grin

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.

looks like lots of coins have changed hands in the last phase of the dip...


Indeed. Yesterday saw the 24h all time high for bitcoin volume on MtGox with 550k BTC, beating the previous one at 400k BTC during the bottom at 2$.

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 Smiley

Peter? Thought he did very well in that interview, he was pulling no punches with the comebacks too Smiley
Is the person talking at 04:16 Peter Vessenes? Googling him doesn't show up any photo.

No, that's Michael McKee, a bloomberg "analyst". Indeed he doesn't know what he's talking about, and Peter did well answering him.
