these guys can sense that blockchain is important, but they just don't geddit...

Nevermind the greatest heavy weight boxer, Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest human beings of all time. Long live! some of Ali's best quotes: "Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, ...

"grew strongly" yep, right, for sure, we see that. go on. rock the non-QE then. Europe is in deep social and economical turmoil. Tell me lies...

Hmmm, let's see, what could be on the emergency meeting agenda? 1) quick! quick! help BoJ 2) NIRP actually means deflation - the worst thing 3) inform GS, JPM, et al. that the Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreement is all-systems-go because it hikes ...

The writer is Director of the Center for European Policy Studies, had worked for the IMF; advises the European Commission, European Parliament, French finance ministry... an influential player. And then he says: Not sure he's looking at the same ...

Based on your two sentences quoted above, I could say the same to you, but let's rather speak specifically: We agree the Fed prints money out of thin air. However, do we agree that they are not printing physical cash notes? What you refer to as ...

I agree with your summary of the major vectors acting on the USD and you say the critical word: deflation. As you say, the dollar can only be undone by the Fed, and the Fed (whether the outcome shows them to be clever or foolish) were the first to ...

The first sentence is a triusm: "Successful reversal trading is 90% waiting and 10% execution" that is expressed by trading legends. However, its one thing to propose a method and another to say its a winning method. The author should provide the ...

... and that's a fap.

sigh... Note that Hearn is not referring to any technical aspect, but alleges that the concept of Bitcoin is broken: Mike Hearn, the mediocre and argumentative developer has sour grapes because his fellow devs wouldn't turn Bitcoin into a Visa ...

Mike Hearn is a well-known drama queen. It's hard to take anything he says seriously because he is prone to exaggeration and rarely speaks science and facts. For example, if someone did not know this about Hearn, they'd read hyperbolic quotes by him ...

Mike Hearn, the developer referred to in the article, has made himself a pain to work with for several years and (as reported above) continues doing what he does best: agitating arguments, fomenting division, and constantly nagging instead of coding ...

Perhaps, for those who get a lot of information from the mainstream media, there is still a perception that Bitcoin use is restricted to rebel-geeks and other minority deviants, but here is the same mainstream media with some light non-computer ...

@Zer0sum, this is neither theoretically possible nor provably true. The central Napster server could be unplugged but Bitcoin is better compared to BitTorrent. How does any agency or government propose to destroy such a distributed network? A ...

What is interesting about this article is not so much the doom prophecy as the fact that the mainstream media is now using the word "deflation" with greater frequency. The author's points: 1. global slowdown in production 2. ongoing commodities rout ...

@8fingers, this is happening in your own country and your own neighborhood and you don't see the benefit? Well, suit yourself.

@Conscript, if we put our money in the market then we need to look to the social phenomena that reveal sentiment. Consumer Sentiment is a data metric, but record breaking box office sales is a raw fact, not true?

@aymanalarous, think of Star Wars as an indicator of popular sentiment in the US. With the movie selling out and breaking records, does it perhaps imply the awakening of a new US era and dollar strength? The fact that other countries are also ...

Many were wondering when the massaging would begin... Bernanke is on an errand, it seems, to prepare the market for the Fed's "overnight reverse repurchase agreement" mechanism. Interest rate manipulation, now, is all about trying to maintain ...

The article is interesting for its broad collection of assumptions and strange logic: Firstly, for trying to explain why US dollar strength should not stay the Fed's hand in raising interest rates. This has not been a major reason cited by Fed ...
