You are to dumb to reply seriously to. See you in 4 years (like I did with some other ET posters from 2013).

Yes indeed, they are eager to put a few percent of their funds into uncorrelated assets. Even the largest in the world, MAN group, is eying it: https://www.coindesk.com/uk-hedge-fund-man-group-mulls-bitcoin-futures-offering/ Wake up you ignorant!

That's BS. People like me never said it was anonymous. We talked about "pseudo anonymous", and that's the way Bitcoin was in the past 9 years. But it will change soon, as it is programmable money and this feature is high on the agenda of Developers.

We are still in the awareness phase. And with a disruptive technology you don't have Bell-curves but S-curves.

Michael Novogratz is one. And MAN group is front running the CME futures release.

You realize that those "they" you are referring to, are intelligent, high educated, wealthy fund-managers? No masses yet (that stage will take some years from now, still).

I have doubts it will launch this year (and have orders waiting at low levels to pick up cheap Bitcoins, for when postpone news hits the wire).

Yes that is what disruptive technologies do. "FinTech" (as it's called now), started in 2008 and see how fast it's changing our world.

??? He's an anti-Bitcoin expert.

That comment would be true, if made to me in 2013. But after that year, no longer the case. Currently, after 4 full time years into crypto-space, I'm more sure than ever: Bitcoin will never disappear and no negative posting can make any impact on this. Oh yes there is. And in 5 to 10 years you...

I'm not American (thank god). And any hardcore believer like me, knows very well that you are responsible for your own wealth in crypto-world. We do not keep our coins and fiat on exchanges any longer than needed (a few hours at most). We do not need nanny protections (those are for you...

Read somewhere it was Lloyds. But you can email them and ask.

pffff...! The original issue, was that @schweiz stated that Bitcoin itself was dangerous because of 2013-MtGox. Which is clearly refuted by our arguments: 1) Bitcoin security by itself has nothing to do with an third party Exchange (especially not an ancient one, while many improvements are...

No I was talking about the EARLY years. At that time there wasn't any insurance. Just as in the early years of Bitcoin there was none. But, NOW even the mayor Bitcoin exchanges have Insurance. Look at Coinbase for instance: you are insured by FDIC just like your USA broker account, as well an...

When a bank was robbed in the early years by man with guns, it had NOTHING to do with the money they stole. But by the way this bank managed their security. If you don't understand that, you need to go back to school.

Understanding Bitcoin comes in several stages (the speed in which those stages are passed depends on your intelligents and willfulness to learn). You are clearly in early stage 3 (the stage where the open minded banks entered in 2015 and some reluctant banks still are). Stage 3 means...

No not at all. 1) competition is good for Bitcoin, if and only if new coins really have innovative new features (which 99% don't have). 2) Launching more Alts and more ICOs is ACTUALLY good for Bitcoin's price as most of them are bought by using Bitcoin (you have to buy Bitcoin first). 3) no I...

Sorry, but I'm anti ICO's. I'm anti 99% of all Alt-coins. So don't reply to my posts with that crap!

It's built in 2008 as reaction to the Financial crises, it's built against government mismanagement of assets and it's built to withstand any attack-vector by hackers or otherwise. Anything that tries to attack it, will result in failure and thereby enforces its reputation of indestructible...

That's not true: it's for hard-core believers.
