lolwat?

You sure about that? My 1100% gains say otherwise.

Put your money where your mouth is - screenshot them BTC shorts ;)

wow

All the salty people down voting them.

16K baby!

heh you're falling prey to FUD.

you mean... like most banking apps?

god forbid they make obvious what most users are using the app for.

A lot of salt in this thread.

So let me take the opposite side and say congrats to everyone who's hodling bitcoin!

The run up is a result of the futures. It legitimizes bitcoin.

No one in their right mind is going to short bitcoin unless they want to risk losing their shirts.

Should someone tell him?

There are several projects on track to improve blockchain speeds by several orders of magnitude. So, in other words, it's a solved problem. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Network

This is GOOD news for bitcoin/cryptos.

Pay your taxes on your gains. If the IRS can turn this into a revenue stream, it will solidify and legitimize it.

The Government has done the opposite of banning bitcoin. They've outright legitimized it.

No, they have not forced private businesses to accept bitcoin.

Founder of ethereum will soon be a billionaire as well.

Why not both?

If you can see value in decentralized cryptocurrencies, I think you can make the mental leap for the case of bitcoin.

This is not accurate. The once useful properties of gold have now been replicated using other (cheaper, alternative, and even synthetic) materials that perform better.

Japan has already embraced cryptos as a legal currency. They won't be the last. As this happens, there will be geopolitical factors at play and it won't be that easy to simply "outlaw cryptocurrencies".

You're still not getting it my friend.
