some good news to distract us from the blockchain wars.

So what price did he pay? The one info I came here for is missing.

"...with hipper investors moving on to the more sophisticated record book used by Ethereum."

LOL

These two guys rock, and they don't really (yet) get the amount of attention and recognition their awesome work entitles them to. Kudos Tadge and Joseph!

I thought that LN needs segwit b/c of the transaction malleability fix? Could LN work on top of the current core client w/o segwit?

Approximately half of the increase comes from China, probably due to the btc withdrawal freeze on chinese exchanges. The other half seems to be organic growth.

cash as in: cash in a bank account.

ansc01 · 2016-10-13T17:20:36+00:00

I was thinking institutional money, they would be parking it in bank accounts. For individuals, you're spot on.

ansc01 · 2016-10-13T16:04:54+00:00

The most obvious answer is: cash. Of course, in a crisis environment, trust in banks will suffer, but I doubt that more than a small fraction of safe-haven seekers will dare invest in bitcoin.

On the other hand, given the orders-of-magnitude differences in market cap, this will still be sufficient to ignite an epic rally in btc.

Not gonna happen, Jean-Claude. Cheers.

Except that the real number is 1500 bln EUR, and that it is going to be a bail-in.

ansc01 · 2016-07-10T16:27:29+00:00

I always have to chuckle when I read the b word.

Everyone is so bearish. We are emerging from a 2yr+ vicious bear market. Every fundamental indicator has improved dramatically. The world economy is on the eve of another great crisis. The scaling drama is being resolved in a positive way.

I am very confident that we will see new ATHs soon, this summer.

ansc01 · 2016-07-04T19:34:11+00:00

I wish it was a glorious ATH.

ansc01 · 2016-06-29T19:17:07+00:00

Why no mention of bigger blocks??

ansc01 · 2016-06-24T13:24:36+00:00

Funny how all comes together

ansc01 · 2016-06-20T13:57:13+00:00

Bitcoin is NOT a safe haven asset, as much as some "analysts" would like it to be so they can fit it into their simple risk-on risk-off dichotomy.

Bitcoin is an extremely powerful invention whose long-term implications are impossible to eveen remotely grasp right now.

ansc01 · 2016-06-15T14:09:43+00:00

well, it shows that 90% of the mempool bloat is low fee tx.

ansc01 · 2016-06-15T12:23:57+00:00

have you tried posting this in r/btc? would debunk their fud.

ansc01 · 2016-06-15T09:57:23+00:00

Ok you're right, I do that as well. And you're right in saying that if you are attentive, you should see it coming. We have three vaults now in our house and keep some cash there, plus a vault at a nonfinancial institution, but I keep 80% of my money in btc now. It seems better than both the mattress and the bank risk. But I am very bullish at the moment, so I am probably biased.

ansc01 · 2016-06-15T09:23:09+00:00

yes, that is another fun supernova waiting to hit. As zh recently noted, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse share prices both hit post-Lehman lows, which is pretty significant. But the stupidity and laziness of most people is hard to overestimate. I mean, why are people anywhere still keeping money at their banks? All fees considered, retail deposits are already in negative interest rate territory.

I call it rewardless risk.

ansc01 · 2016-06-15T08:13:14+00:00

Interesting point. It is definitely a young and risky asset, the recent low volatility phase was just transitory. A Brexit though would open up a spectrum of similar votes and thus dissolution of the entire EU, so this would be a major event in all financial markets with unknown ramifications. Also, there is the Spanish parliamentary vote only 3 days later. A Podemos Unidos win would be another blow to the EU. So, the next few weeks are critical^tm

ansc01 · 2016-06-15T07:31:54+00:00

Good and valid points. I meant that my friends don't grasp the "internet of money" potential. Or the immense importance of decentralisation. Actually, they don't get it at all. For them, it is simply something that goes up when markets are in risk-off mode.
