Just spoke with several financial experts with backgrounds in the banking sector. They told me once Japan opens itself up to the Bitcoin the currency is very likely to reach the 30.000 USD mark before 2020 since
Japan has been known to be a trendsetter and have high influence on the EU and US markets.

Yes and you're like the only one responding to this thread. That's the sad thing
Stop feeding the negative

I've been talking about a Bitcoin association but a lot of users are against this idea. They are telling me that would be "centralizing" a decentralized system.
The irony of it all is that Bitcoin is so WEAK and FRAGILE that whenever some banker makes a statement it immediately affects the price, whenever China decides to "ban" it immediately affects the price.
The effect of certain negative press releases can easily be avoided if we only had a team of people that could hire and pay for a PR campaign with other bankers claiming something else.
Why is nobody approaching other famous bankers to release aggressive contra-statements? Instead of whining and bitching on this forum and seeing how Bitcoin is losing its value faster than
ever before. Start posting articles , don't lie , just post the truth start promoting start paying for Facebook ads and campaigns, start talking to journalists, start doing it!

Nonsense. Someone invented Bitcoin so where is this person? Why all the mystery? Why being anonymous? Serious grown up people will think this is a speculative bubble kept up by major Bitcoin holders
who are planning to cash out on their Bitcoin as soon as they see there's no other way out. It's growing too fast and the world is not ready for this. You can claim all you want, the price goes up very fast and down very fast which is considered a high-risk investment. I can't believe that you guys are so blind to this. No grandma in the world will ever use this if there is no professional organization. Government is great. Banks are great. There is no better alternative. Anarchy is not the solution. Bitcoin could be a nice way as a digital currency next to the banks but I will never kiss cash money goodbye for some digital nonsense. I want to be able to control my money. At least the bank have offices. Bitcoin will never have offices, never have headquarters, never anything like it if there is no organization. How do you want people to get informed when there is only the internet? What kind of digital freakshow is that? Untrustworthy as hell! Look at the price going down. I believe it will go down to 5 USD very soon. Good luck believing in your bubble!

I think that this is the BIG problem of Bitcoin. Sorry to say so but I do not trust it at this point. Too many criminal activity is linked with the association.
Right now, sorry to say, you sound like people who want anarchy. Anarchy is never good. There's always people with bad intentions such as those who are manipulating the value of this coin.
I am afraid that one day very soon we'll wake up and see that Bitcoin will only be worth a fraction of its current value thanks to a Bitcoin run. It's very speculative right now and this anarchy is not great.
The government and especially the banks won't ever allow this too happen. Do you know what would happen if all people who own Bitcoins right now would sell their coins for cash? The whole financial system
would collapse or a lot of ya'll won't ever see any money ever. If you think the banks will be waiting to pay everyone out then I'm sorry bro, that ain't gonna happen. That's the big point. Governing a Bitcoin system
is great. Right now there's no one to blame and it's human nature to find someone to blame for. At least I want to point my finger at someone if something goes wrong. That's the point so I strongly believe a Bitcoin association would be the most logical way and if the majority of owners do not believe in some form of "governing" then I'm afraid a lot of people will never buy the coin and it won't be long before that bubble collapses.

I strongly believe that in order to come off professional Bitcoin's founders and a team of financial professionals should form an "assocation" so they can directly publish statements
against any bad news or any banker labeling Bitcoin as "fraudulent". Right now, I feel like there's not one single person who can be blamed if something goes wrong and this is the exact
reason why lots of people feel uncomfortable buying the Bitcoins. Bitcoin needs a face. Right now, it's not linked to anything. It's too mysterious. I never see any publications whenever there's bad news and
this is not good! What do you guys think about this?
