Keep reading about lead economists suggesting abolishments of cash money, in which case precious metals ought to sky rocket!
Not much interest in this subject in an age of short term investment and what have you done for me lately positioning ...but there should be. It might be early days here but it will happen. The biggest hint so far is the IPO of First Data coming up in just weeks. The biggest IPO this year, is a "selling at the top" for Private Equity in this sector. They have been minting coin with First Data for years and years and the younger analysts in KKR now see the writing on the wall. Scoping 1% off the top of every transaction clearly works...until it doesn't. I'm thinking too many people, too much retail, too many silicon valley coders want to see this end a soon as possible and bitcoin has all of the elements needed to end this shit. Apple pay was just a weak, half heated attempt to actually keep it going. This particular industry needs to be disrupted in a big way! All these young wanna be traders looking at building algo boxes coming on this forum everyday and none seem to be interested in what really makes money on wall street these days (early investment in disruptive technology) ./bitcoin.sh
"The blockchain is the software that both powers and regulates cryptocurrency bitcoin. In its most basic form, it records ownership of bitcoin — money — and transactions — one person paying another. Transactions are signed off by the parties involved using the software, then added to the blockchain, a long string of code that records all activity. Once other transactions are added on in front of an exchange, the transaction is stuck there forever and can't be changed, in the same way you can't change a brick once it's been built into a wall. The software cuts out the need for a "trusted middleman" to sit in between parties in a transaction as it acts as that middleman. This makes transactions quicker, cheaper, and easier when compared to the current banking system." Business Insider- Oscar Williams-Grut Sept 15, 2015
Still no bitcoin traders out there? thread title show have said "digicash is coming driving stable prices in gold and silver"
