Federal Reserve: Bitcoin Potential ‘Boon’ for Global Commerce

P.S.: "Boon" heißt soviel wie "Bereicherung/Segen"... Wer hätte das von der FED erwartet?

Don't be Fooled by the Calm...

http://bitscan.com/articles/analysis/btc-update-19-may/

 

Having said this, we'll not know for sure until we see a nice bullish confirmatory candle, closing at the top of it range.  The reason I say this is that any serious sellers will be waiting for upside liquidity against which to feed in their shorts, so we could see the return of some serious volatility before the outcome of this next battle is known - and if this does turn out to be a bull-trap - the bad news is that a confirmed break of the upper support line is likely to lead to a re-test of the lower one.  And while not fatal to bitcoin, this sure would be painful to witness.

 

Be carefully watching

Gavin Andresen, who used to be the independent coder in charge of overseeing the entire Bitcoin protocol, spoke at the Bitcoin conference in Amsterdam yesterday about his ideas of the best opportunities and primary risks facing Bitcoin. On the negative side, Andresen said that unless more transactions can be squeezed into each block in the blockchain, transaction fees are going to get too high. This is because as mining becomes more expensive, the amount of fees charged per block will increase. On the positive side, Andresen said that coders working on Bitcoin are getting way more specialized, which is crucial for the next major phase of growth. [Coin Desk]

The Willy Report: proof of massive fraudulent trading activity at Mt. Gox, and how it has affected the price of Bitcoin

Somewhere in December 2013, a number of traders including myself began noticing suspicious bot behavior on Mt. Gox. Basically, a random number between 10 and 20 bitcoin would be bought every 5-10 minutes, non-stop, for at least a month on end until the end of January. The bot was dubbed “Willy” at some point, which is the name I’ll continue to use here. Since Willy was buying in such a recognizable pattern, I figured it would be easy to find in the Mt. Gox trading logs that were leaked about two months ago (there’s a torrent of the data here). However, the logs only went as far as November 2013; luckily, I was able to detect the buying pattern in the last few days of November. Below is a compiled log of its trades on the last two days of November (from the file “2013-11_mtgox_japan.csv”):

Kenyan remittance service BitPesa in beta

 

BitPesa works like this: A user anywhere in the world (except the US at the moment) can send any number of bitcoins to a recipient in Kenya via BitPesa, which will convert that money to local currency (with a 3% commission) and send it on to the recipient.

With no hidden charges or additional fees, BitPesa would make sending money back to Kenya three to six times cheaper than via traditional international money senders.

 

http://cointelegraph.com/news/111566/kenyan_remittance_service_bitpesa_in_beta

 

Hier könnte der Einsatz von Bitcoins für internationale Geldüberweisungen zuerst erfolgreich sein. Das mobile Bezahlsystem M-PESA ist in Kenia bereits sehr verbreitet. Zitat: “Paying for a taxi ride using your mobile phone is easier in Nairobi than it is in New York”

Gestern hatte ich das in Prognose erwähnt. Dank,ngt, für den link

für Kenya gibt es bereits M-Pesa,welches jetzt auch bitcoin implementiert.

Bit-Pesa ist auch schon im Markt (Pesa ist Swaheli für Geld)

European Central Bank comes down against Bitcoin

http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/european-central-bank-comes-bitcoin/2014/05/27

 

Yves Mersch, a member of the executive board of the European Central Bank (ECB), speaking at the Bargeld-symposium of the Deutsche Bundesbank in Frankfurt, has come down firmly against Bitcoin. Whereas, this will probably not come as much of a surprise to most, he would seem to have done this, in the context of, an attempt to sell the idea of the Euro as an international currency of choice.

Bitstamp’s Bitcoin Audit Shows Reserves Cover All Deposits

http://coinbrief.net/bitstamp_bitcoin_audit/

 

 

 

What Does This Mean For The Average User?

This audit sets a precedent for the exchanges, and could cause Bitstamp to capture a larger portion of the market if the other big players do not follow suit.  This will increase the safety, and security, of the entire community, as exchanges will be held accountable for their management of  users’ funds.  With this type of transparency, Bitcoin as a whole will become much more attractive to businesses and investors, which could spur acceptance and growth in a way that Bitcoin has not experienced before.
