Ok so bitcoin is going to be the new world currency, got it.

>>1005709
I don't think you understand the point of Bitcoin: it works best when the most people are using it. An alternative blockchain wouldn't have the same level of security that Bitcoin does because the hash rate would be lower and a "better" design won't change that.

Bitcoin HAS won and the use of non-bitcoin based blockchain technology won't damage the main network which already powers a shit load of things.

Multi-party/coalition ventures have NEVER worked. I saw hundreds of mobile network operators signup with Intel to develop an iOS/Android competior. Guess where that went, and who's still driving the market.

Also, ever worked in a large corporate like those mentioned in the article? Getting internal tactical projects to work is a clusterfuck. External strategic project? Bet against it.

Bitcoiner cope

Bitcoin can not be destroyed. It operates too similarly to the torrent networks.

Bitcoin is antifragile. Any new competition, any online buttcoiner trolling, any harsh regulations or warning from governments only makes it stronger as it routes around any obsticles.

Bitcoin can not be inflated away for short term political or personal gain. The set cap in number of bitcoins to be created along with the gradual decline in production of coins means that all other things being equal, even if it never updated again, it would be worth more next year than this year. It is the best performing currency of the last 6 of 7 years.

Bitcoin represents the most pure form of money as information. It is literally a protocal that can be updated at any time for almost any reason so long as it is in the best interest of Bitcoin. This money can and has been getting upgrades.

Nothing on this planet has more potential than bitcoin. If you can't see that by now I'm sorry for whoever failed trying to educate you.

Nothing has ever bootstrapped a global currency as fast as Bitcoin. The last notable currency to do what bitcoin is doing was silver and it took 6 months just to cross the Atlantic.

>In a Xapo statement, Visa founder Dee Hock, former Treasury Secretary and President Emeritus of Harvard University Lawrence H. Summers and former Citibank CEO and Chairman John Reed, said they joined the company because of the potential of Bitcoin’s technology and currency to advance financial services.

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/xapo-adds-visa-founder-former-citibank-ceo-advisory-board-1432678868

>Dee Hock is the founder of Visa, and is responsible for effectively creating payment systems as we know them today. “Bitcoin represents not only the future of payments but also the future of governance,” Mr. Hock said. “We live in the 21st century but are still using command and control organizational structures from the 16th century. Bitcoin is one of the best examples of how a decentralized, peer-to-peer organization can solve problems that these dated organizations cannot. Like the Internet, Bitcoin is not owned or controlled by any one entity, so it presents incredible opportunities for new levels of efficiency and transparency in financial transactions.”

>>1005912
I'm not too sure. I got the meme from Bitcoiners. I must say that I'm beginning to love it now though.

>>1005912
Buttcoiner coping mechanism when they have run out of all fluffy nonsense. You can tell because they can't even dispute one of the many reasons above as to why everyone should be doing more research on Bitcoin. A usual tactic would be to latch onto the wakes argument and spin it and try to ignore the others but they can't even do that now. I appreciate all the hard work they do, it made it easier to get out from under the last bear market with less weak hands holding coins we can move up sooner than if they were not scaring away some of the people tat might of been on the fence.

Cope.

>>1005966
So we all know why bitcoiners come to defend bitcoin. As someone with bitcoins I have an incentive to educate others, the more people that join our little group the stronger we all get. But what so you get out of this? Spending hours a day online just copeing?

>>1005968
>"educate"
You mean shill right? Well besides coping of course.

>>1005971
But to shill you would have to have an incentive. You can't honestly believe tat monopoly money in your wallet will be better off without bitcoins. There will always be another government cartel to make more monopoly monies. Are you gettin g b paid to do this? Cause now that would be some funny shit.

>>1005973
Not really. I'm here of my own volition. I actually don't mind hearing about new Bitcoin developments. But after a couple months of hearing "nocoiner cope" over and over and over and over I decide I hate Bitcoiners. So I'm here because I'm happy to hear news that banks now have a competitor. What you don't understand is that if you idiots just piped down with the shitposting then many of us wouldn't feel the need to respond and you can shill in peace. I don't think it's possible though because you don't get it and you never will.

Another dumb ass infographic. If you use a Bitcoin exchange you throw the first 2 points out the window. Exchanges have both strict limits and high fees.

Don't buy on localbitcoins. This faggot right here is trying to sell you his overpriced bitcoins at a markup.

The banks rule the world. They have money, power, and the customer base to make sure their coin will be accepted rather than Bitcoin.

People don't care what system is used as long as their money is safe and it can be used quickly and cheaply. Banks are for the most part safe, that's why they've been used for hundred of years and blockchain will streamline them.

They haven't had honest competition in over half a decade. They use government regulations to smash competition. Furthermore the banking system is anything but safe, if 2008 didn't teach you that you can just wait for the next liquidity crisis only this time printing more money will be even less effective at stopping the domino effect than it was the last 3 times they have tried using that strategy. Overall bitcoin just has to survive, the race to the bottom garentees hard assets like bitcoin should do well.

That's dair, it'll be wrong but your more than welcome to bet against Bitcoin. You could be shorting it right now. Again I wouldn't advise such a reckless thing but if you believe so strongly maybe you should. Either way you spend a lot of time here to not have some skin in this game.

>>1006199
>a market that can collapse at any point
>that's even assuming that every coin is worth $400 and if people start selling the price doesn't drop to virtually nothing

>>1006204
Newsflash, every market can crash at any time. If you think the fed has 100% reserves then you need to go back to school. The beauty of bitcoin is that it makes no false promises. It's a protocal that works because math is useful and encyption is safe. When the fed goes belly up everyone depending on it will be out in the cold. If bitcoin goes belly up we all lose a little money then relaunch the next one with everything we learned from the first one. Pretty doubtful tho as you would have to sell 4 times the amount of bitcoins in circulation to crash the price below 100.

>>1006211

>>1006211
>no false promises
Lol you guys promise price raises all the time. I can't even browse this board for a day without someone saying that Bitcoin is going up to $500 or $550 or $600 or $2300 or whatever the fuck. Then you have the people who are promising it will reach mainstream use. It's all bullshit.

>>1006227
We share our opinion that price will increase with utility. This has been backed up with over 9000% gains sense it's creation just a few years ago. Fiat is down 99% sense it's creation and they flat out say it's better for you if your money is worth less tomorrow toplel

maybe you need to go back to school. there don't have to be any trades for a market price to go to zero

>>1006232
.... that's funny lol where did you learn that?

>>1006230
>Bitcoin was once worthless now it's not
>100000000% gains!
Lmao. That's not how it works.

>>1006236
Actually that's exactly how it works when you go from a penny to hundreds of dollars per coin/stock

>>1006234
thin liquidity and a massive drop in demand can cause a market to tank without very many trades being filled

this is simple stuff

>>1006236

How does it work then?
Its only gains if your royal decree says so?

>>1006240
What is it very few trades or none? Your being very inconsistent here

>>1006234
He's right. The only thing that changes price is demand or lack thereof. That can change overnight.

>>1006244
Price is determined where supply meets demand. If it doesnt meet at all then it stays where it last traded untill a new trade is made. This is simple stuff guys common the ponzi arguments where better than this.

>>1006242
it is theoretically possible for no trades to happen and the price to go to zero... I took it to the logical extreme so that you would understand that your silly assertion made no sense

>>1006250
No your statement is false. A trade has to be made to change the price. The bids right now accross just the top 5 exchanges out number the amount of bitcoins in circulation therfore you can not crash the price to zero because you would need more bitcoins than exsist.

>>1006239
No. It's not. Only a few people realized those type of gains. And even then I'm sure most of them sold at 100% ROI. You are implying that people can buy Bitcoin today and have the same type of gains that Bitcoin had when it went from totally worthless to worth something. Youre right. Bitcoin is EXACTLY like a penny stock.

>>1006255
That depends entirely on the utility of bitcoin in the future. All things being equal, even if it got no updates and user base did not expand the price would continue up for the simple reason that supply is contracting. Supply and demand economics, it's rather simple.

>>1006252
bids can be dropped. if demand drops, that's exactly what would happen

>>1006245
You're dense. You just repeated almost exactly what I was saying, that price has to do with demand.

>>1006265
True and asks can be dropped as well wich is exactly what happens when the price starts to increase rapidly as it has done many times. See I can talk about abstract future events too.

>>1006259
>supply is contracting
And demand with it. Which is the reason that the transaction volume hasn't been steadily increasing over time.

>>1006270
you've already been doing that

>Pretty doubtful tho as you would have to sell 4 times the amount of bitcoins in circulation to crash the price below 100.

>>1006268
The trend is still against you. Demand has been increasing and as Bitcoin becomes used for more than the private nasdaq trades or the visa-docusign auto loan program it will grow in utility adding to demand. That's visa and nasdaq using the bitcoin blockchain as a notery, just a simple notery. If you think that's all programable money is capable of then I would bet against Bitcoin too but I think it's just the tip of the iceberg.

>>1006270
You have sidestepped the original point which is that the Bitcoin market can collapse at any time without even many trades to facilitate it. If the demand falters and dies, so does your whole economy. There are many events that can cause this to happen.

>>1006278
>>1006278
That's actually current statistics from the markets right now. Go check bitcoinwisdom if you don't believe me. There are 15 Million coins, It would take more than 45 million to crash the price bellow $100 accross all exchanges. That means people have parked a ton of cash on the sidelines waiting for a crash like that just to get what they think is a good price.

>>1006259
Bitcoins aren't a physical consumable product like oil, which is consumed and therefore changes in value depending on supply and demand. Bitcoins are more like the dollar, which can has a completely made up value assigned to it irregardless of supply and demand. All that changes is how many/fractions of a bitcoin or dollar it takes to buy something.

>>1006281
>>1006281
And there are many events that could cause the same thing in any market. Take the usd for example. Over the last 3 months foreigners have sold treasuries at a record pace. They have never unloaded so much US debt so fast as they are right now. I would say the $ has a crisis of faith on its hands.

>>1006289
Actually they are used for things other than money. Nasdaq needs them to secure private trades between private parties right now for example. They use the bitcoin ledger as a notary. So does visa with its new auto loan program in partnership with docusign.

>>1006285
Wrong. I don't think you understand basic economics enough to get what we are saying, and I don't feel like repeating myself more than once.

>>1006298
Your giving hypotheticals, I gave you the real number you would need to crash the price without everyone magically doing exactly as you predict they MIGHT.

>>1006295
There is so much bullshit in this post that you should be ashamed for even typing it. You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. Seriously.

>>1006304
Yet you make no specific clarifications. Like most of the silly things you say.

>>1006285
lol, you aren't understanding what I'm saying. that order book changes on a whim. you give bitcoiners a bad name m8

>>1006301
And you are completely and totally wrong. You pulled the number from your ass. The price can crash tomorrow just by everyone panic selling. All that would need to happen is for people to remove thier buy walls and other people move the sell walls. Again, you have no clue what the fuck you are talking about.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-23/nasdaq-expects-to-be-first-exchange-to-use-bitcoin-technology

The stock market operator ispartneringwith infrastructure provider Chain to use blockchain to issue and transfer the shares of privately held companies. Blockchain is the ledger that drives the bitcoin digital currency.

https://www.docusign.com/blog/the-future-of-car-leasing-is-as-easy-as-click-sign-drive/

To begin the process, a prospective customer chooses the car they want to lease after test-driving, evaluating their options, and completing any pre-approvals. That car’s identity is then registered on the Bitcoin Blockchain – the secure ledger database used to record transactions over broadly-distributed computer networks.

>>1006311
>>1006309
Again hypotheticals. And no go check if you don't believe me, there are more than 50 million bids for coins right now.

>>1006313
This is a lot different than Nasdaq and Visa "needing" Bitcoin. Just because they have R&D projects down the pipeline that may include Bitcoin blockchain is it a far cry from what you implied previously. If Bitcoin crashes to a dollar per coin, I'm sure that they would still be able to use the technology, maybe. If not they can just integrate into a new blockchain. The fact that Overstock wants to issue its stock with the blockchain is nothing new. The CEO is a nutcase and has already caused irreparable damage to his company. Regardless, they can technically issue thier own company stock however they want.

>>1006315
We are talking in hypotheticals, dude. Did you think we were implying it's already happened? The whole point is that it CAN happen fairly easily.

>>1006323
Nasdaq project went online 4 quater of this year but thanks for not reading the articles. They use bitcoins right now.

>>1006325
My point is its technically impossible with the current bids and asks. Your spouting hypotheticals like they will happen any day now. Goodluck with that.

>>1006329
Nope. That's an old article and that project never went live.

>>1006330
The fact that you think it is impossible for bids to dry up almost instantaneously means you don't have a clear idea of how markets even operate. I don't even know how to respond to someone with so little knowledge that they can't comprehend basic concepts.

>>1006335
Nice try fudboy
http://www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2015/10/27/nasdaq-unveils-blockchain-enabled-platform-linq-announces-6-inaugural-clients/

On Tuesday, at the Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas, Nasdaq CEO Robert Greifeld will conduct the first-ever demonstration of Linq, a platform formanagingshares of private companies using technology derived from that which powers Bitcoin, which was announced earlier this year.


It's called linq now, they like it cause it saves them money. Which is why it will become a standard in the financial industry.

Like most of your claims in this thread, you are incorrect again with your baseless fud.

>>1006340
OH boy you're not going to like this, lmao. I thought you were talking about the other initiative. You're talking about Linq? You just got BTFO again. Linq doesn't use the bitcoin blockchain dummy.

>To develop Linq, Nasdaq’s own technologists collaborated with Chain.com and global design firm IDEO to create a user-friendly platform that takes advantage of its own blockchain, instead of logging the transactions on the public Bitcoin blockchain.

Yikes. Sorry to break the bad news to you, bro.

>>1006350
You have zero understanding of how this works but I'll try and hold your hand. The "private blockchain" more of a database really is what they use internally. They still need to stamp it with Proof of Work into the Bitcoin blockchain at least once a day. I know technicalities arnt your thing but if you had to use the bitcoin blockchain for every trade it wouldn't work in its current form without needing a horrendous amount of bitcoins. This way they can make as many transfers as they want and still pay the same rate every day to secure the private ledger with the public one.

>>1006368
>facepalm
Totally wrong. They don't use the Bitcoin blockchain at all. They have their own blockchain. You're an idiot.

>>1006373
Fear, uncertainty, doubt, it's fudboy!

Don't give examples or sources just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. Well goodluck to you, your gonna need it.

>sidechains: private blockchains secured by the bitcoin blockchain. All the benefit of complete ownership, with all the security of the largest computer network in the world.

This is the next stage of development in the bitcoin space and it is why there is no limit to what bitcoin can do.

>>1006378
Here's the proof dumbsky.

>http://www.coindesk.com/hands-on-with-linq-nasdaqs-private-markets-blockchain-project/

Nasdaq is not using bitcoins blockchain. They use thier own blockchain. The article explains how it works. You are a liar and a terrible shill. I would say you bring disgrace to Bitcoiners but a lot of them are just like you. Any other bullshit you want to spew here?

>>1006380
Irrelevant to anything we are discussing.
