Bakkt by the career financial criminals that bitcoin was invented to protect you from! Quoth The Verge : "New York Stock Exchange owner is launching a bitcoin exchange The Intercontinental Exchange, the operator behind the New York Stock Exchange, has announced that it is creating a new company called Bakkt that will hold and manage people’s cryptocurrency. The platform will be powered by Microsoft cloud tech and plans to begin with trading and converting bitcoin to US dollars and other fiat (government-backed) currencies as 'bitcoin is today the most liquid digital currency.'" First they ignore us. Then they laugh at us. Then they fight adopt our disruptive technology in a mad dash before someone else does, so at least the inevitable will hurt them less than the rest of their entrenched industry establishment. Then we profit. It's the circle of life. What we're seeing happen now in the short history of cryptocurrency and the broader histo...

EXCELLENT technical lecture by Andreas Antonopoulos on how Bitcoin protocol works and how consensus is reached by the blockchain network. UCL, London 2015.

The first of many globally successful private cryptocurrencies over the last decade, Bitcoin is history's most profitable investment so far. To understand why, we first have to fundamentally understand what money is and why it's so valuable. If you want to start investing in cryptocurrency, it's important to understand these fundamentals first. One of the easiest ways to lose a lot of money investing is by not having a deep understanding of what you're putting your money into. "Invest in what you know." Peter Lynch is the legendary American investor and mutual fund manager who averaged a 29.2% annual return (more than doubling the S&P 500 stock index) from 1977 to 1990, the best performance of any mutual fund over that period in the world. The assets under his management grew from $18 million in '77 to $14 billion by 1990. He's famous for saying, "Invest in what you know." CryptoCurrency Is Private Money If you...

Peter Thiel who co-founded PayPal and invested early in Facebook says Bitcoin is like gold :

"how can we turn whiplash into an asset class" People speak of a "Bitcoin volatility problem," but no one thinks Wall Street's volatility is a problem. Some smart ass even turned it into an asset class lol oh the wanton perversity of it all roflmao So what about all the volatility on Wall Street? It's super volatile. It's also very sensitive to political events, which we all know can be rather unpredictable lol. It might even be sensitive to weather . It's just a very volatile investment and it goes through periods of high volatility. If you look at the headlines from a year ago many Wall Street investors were actually openly nervous about it then too. i would like to buy a volatility I hear you saying: "Sure, but no one thinks of Wall Street stocks as money and it wouldn't be practical to use them as money for this reason among others. The same is true of bitcoin. Its volatility will prevent it from being used as...

Bitcoin IS money. Already. It doesn't just have the potential to be. It already is money. Before you go and listen to all the critics who say Bitcoin is just a speculative investment like Beanie Babies or baseball cards, because "you can't buy anything with bitcoin..." Just review this list of all the things you can already shop with bitcoin and buy today. Then tweet this at 'em and let them know that it simply isn't debatable whether Bitcoin is a real currency or not... Because it is a matter of fact that a number of major retailers and stores are already accepting bitcoin as a payment for goods and people are already shopping with bitcoin. Sorry to burst your bubble. It's been a nice run for you since 1913, if you're part of the entrenched establishment that has kept its advantage over the rest of society by, among other things, forcing everyone to use a single, government-regulated currency that was deliberately designed to steal...

"I fear our revolution will have been in vain if a Virginia farmer is to be held in hock to a New York stock jobber, who in turn is in hock to a London banker.

So I just saw this oped by an economics blogger at the New York Times. And I had to respond because he's saying Bitcoin is evil. Bitcoin Is Evil The Conscience of A Liberal By: Paul Krugman "It’s always important, and always hard, to distinguish positive economics — how things work — from normative economics — how things should be." Well, yeah. Those two sound about as different as science and morality. "Indeed, on many of the macro issues I’ve written about it has been obvious that large numbers of economists can’t bring themselves to make that distinction; they dislike activist government on political grounds, and this leads them to make really bad arguments about why fiscal stimulus can’t work and monetary stimulus will be disastrous. I don’t, by the way, think that this effect is symmetric: although people like Robert Lucas were quick to accuse people like Christy Romer of fabricating macro arguments to support a big-government agenda, this didn’t ac...
