"It is not a bubble" is what we hear every time from people invested in an asset hoping it will make them rich.



Before the dotcom bubble burst, dotcom shares were not a bubble said the people investing in shares. It can only go up they said. NASDAQ is going to the moon and will reach 100.000. They said. And then they lost.



Before the housing price bubble burst, house prices were not a bubble said people who were borrowing more and more money. It can only go up they said, because there will never be more land. They said. And then they lost.


It is so predictable that it is sad.

A quantum computer can crack ethereum and bitcoin in 1 hour. So now there are many forks that are more protected

I agree with you, bitcoin and bank is two totally different concept, bitcoin's existence doesn't have anything to deal with banks and the fact that no matter how high bitcoin can grow or how low it can get, banks aren't affected by any of them. Therefore, bitcoin certainly can't replace banks, not to mention make them disappear.

Bitcoin is not a currency it’s a steak. My corner grocer had T-bones on sale last week for $5.99 a pound, this week they’re $10.99 and next week they might be $6.99. You are never going to know the exact price of btc or steak until you check the price today. Welcome to the world of commodity trading; glad you could join us.

the blockchain is designed to be a ledger, not a place to put your messages. if you want to do that, feel free to create your own "message coin" fork.

BItcoin prices are back in rally mode, just one week after it looked like the bubble had started to burst.

Early Friday, Bitcoin prices traded as high as $136.43 before pulling back to $119.36. That's more than double this week's low of $50.

Trading volume doubled in just two hours.

The price of the virtual currency, which was created by an anonymous hacker just four years ago, has increased almost 20-fold this year. It gained particular attention in the wake of a mini-bank run in Cyprus, which had raised concerns about the health of government-backed paper currencies like the euro and the U.S. dollar.

So maybe we need a list on the bitcoin.org page or the bitcoin foundation page.

I think the goal of this Press center should be to make the press's job easier and the standard used for inclusion should be competence and professionalism along with established reputations in the Bitcoin community. I do not see why political ideology is relevant or should be used for any type of test or standard for inclusion.

I will say that I have always thought of Tony Gallippi as the best at pitching bitcoin. Everybody else mixes politics and computer science to various degrees in their bitcoin pitch, but Tony's is 100% business.

You have potentially the most important invention in the history of mankind, but you try to gift-wrap
it in a nice little politically-correct package. What are you afraid of? If Bitcoin is an efficient system,
it will be adopted regardless of the opinions of some of the speakers.

Look what they say! ZOMG

Bitcoin missed only one sign of financial pyramid: promises of high returns. And here is it! Congrats gox, well done.

If someone was called 'railroad billionaire' would you think they owned a  billion trains?

Maybe he holds or will soon hold a billion dollars worth of BTC?

this was all a ploy in order to scam hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars from you and me.
