Bitcoin on The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd

BitCoin on ESPN SVP & Russillo show

I bought .5 bitcoins about a week ago. I wish I had bought in when I first heard about it (2010). Bitcoin is unlike any financial 'product' the world has ever seen. I am writing a Seeking Alpha about it that should be published soon.

Nice article G! Very well balanced and informative. I'm guessing the "real" value at this point, all factors taken into consideration, would shake out at around $250, the rest is pure speculation. However I believe we will see 1200 by xmas, and perhaps even 2000 by the beginning of the New Year. However there has been a lot of bad press and execution is very problematic so that may not prove to be the case.

What's needed is a better exchange so various types of custom orders and leverage can be employed as strategic positions.

I think this is the beginnings of just such an exchange:

Just now getting up and running but will offer Forex style trading to the world of cryptocurrency. Very cool trading guide is available linked at the bottom of the page, even. Covers the basics of currency trading very well.

BTW if anyone wants to buys some btc click the link in my signature. We will both receive a $5.00 bonus sent to our wallets. It coinbase, which has proven pretty reliable for me so far, despite being swamped with new users and having some technical and regulatory difficulties. I think they are in it for the long haul, with merchants services being a big part of their approach.

Let me know when I can smoke my bitcoins.

In the meantime the vast majority will never accept a digital "currency" that isn't backed by a government. Do fiat currency have any real intrinsic value, of course not, but people accept it as long as there are no wild value fluctuations.
