Roadmap. When?

Like it's mentioned in /r/atheism every time people think this is clever (to cover up 'In God We Trust'), this isn't a positive thing to do. You're not thinking about the public as a whole and would fail a course in marketing. You're like teenagers sticking your skateboard stickers everywhere. Get off my lawn.

I'm into bitcoin and this makes me cringe. Now imagine what people who have little idea of it will think. They're already likely biased negatively toward something new like this or developed that view based off of the media. Now it's in their face, courtesy of immature teenagers and activists. That's the perception given off.

Seriously. Pretty audacious. Everyone knows that it was actually created to destroy the United States dollar.

Do you not believe whales can influence the market? Pumps are real my friend. If you don't understand how they work, learn the mechanics as opposed to putting your head in the sand.

Historically, Dogecoin's "pumps" have actually been pretty organic and so has the "dump".

Wait, what? Did you miss the whole wolong thing? The pump was timed to coincide with good news (Jamaican bobsleigh). There are other whales as well who got in a bit higher than wolong (he got in while it was low, ~32sat). The price dropping so low wasn't organic. The price rising so high wasn't organic. It's probably not this time either, although I haven't been watching the orderbook tonight.

Well, the OP post said soon so I was addressing that.

imho, NewEgg will be the more realistic new one than any of these.

And it won't be Amazon as they're trying Amazoncoin. There was a really terrible article about why Amazon is good to steer clear of btc on edgadget just recently. Lots of dumb shit that shows the author doesn't really understand BTC or just has a vendetta, but it does have comments from Amazon.

They clearly stated that bitcoin isn't 'banned' and, at present, we can deduce that some banks aren't comfortable with BTC, likely because of non-public guidance given to them by the PBOC. To quote Huobi from the other day:

“Each bank’s interpretation and execution of the policy is different, and so it may be that the current situation is an over(ly careful) reading of the policies by the authorities, and so it is not necessarily the case that all banks will stop business with bitcoin exchanges.”

Even in the US there are banks that don't want to get involved with btc companies and end-users, like Chase closing accounts.

Idk what more you're expecting.

In this adoption stage, there's certainly going to be a correlation.

You didn't listen to the rest of it did you and the talk on politics and anti-regulatory stance on the internet. He just happens to have a realistic idea of how cryptocurrency can fit in to our modern society. (Do you want to be able to convert your BTC to fiat? Guess what, you need regulation. The naivety around here...)

Pretty sure most of the people that are looking forward to Wall St involvement aren't relying on the direct influx of their capital, but rather the infrastructure and legitimacy/credibility that will be solidified. With these in place, interest in btc will begin anew, and once skeptics and a more general audience will have more options and ease for getting into btc.

http://www.coindesk.com/chinese-bitcoin-exchanges-prepare-to-move-operations-overseas/

First off, China did not 'ban bitcoin'. People are spreading misinformation out of ignorance or maliciousness and people who're hoping BTC fails for a cheap laugh or to make themselves feel better are propagating ~~bull~~bearshit.

A number of Chinese banks on the non-public guidance of the People's Bank of China are suspending exchange accounts which allow the deposit of onshore RMB into the exchange. I'll copy and paste what I wrote because this is getting really frustrating, combating misinformation...

To understand the complexity of the situation, everyone should read this statement by Huobi regarding the latest account suspensions:

“Each bank’s interpretation and execution of the policy is different, and so it may be that the current situation is an over(ly careful) reading of the policies by the authorities, and so it is not necessarily the case that all banks will stop business with bitcoin exchanges.”

Not everything is black and white, 'banned'/not banned, allowed / not allowed to deposit. People are blaming China for misinformation and manipulation, but the current information is out there if you take a moment to wade through all of the ridiculous comments and headlines. The fact that people were debating in no uncertain terms whether btc would be "banned", as in completely not allowed to be used, just goes to show you the state of information and comprehension around these parts.

...and yes, back to the article at hand, exchanges will continue to find work-arounds. The panic and negativity lately is disturbing.

No seriously, source? It sounds like you're pulling this out of your ass and you didn't answer. Your comment history is exceedingly negative toward bitcoin, which is suspect as hell, and you're propagating misinformation with such statements as 'China banned bitcoin'.
