I mean that seriously. It's like Bale's character in The Big Short - you can be right and early and nearly lose your shirt.

Alternatively, how would you characterize success for Bitcoin? I'm not talking about an exchange rate, but actual every day success and impact.

It's hilarious at how many investors are looking to dump their "money" for money they know will be safe in the long run

Absolutely not. Our firms would shite a brick if they knew we were even discussing this stuff. It's a compliance nightmare.

So a client says "what is this bitcoin thing?" or "should I buy bitcoins?"

and by responding to that question, there is a compliance nightmare? Wow.

That's mine too, with the caveat of it being kept in bitcoin. I'm skeptical of bitcoin's future as a currency. Always have been.

If you don't know what bitcoin is you've got no business telling a client what you think it is, and if you can't value it, how can you recommend a client buy it or sell it?

Its gambling based on ponzi.

Like commodity wagers in oil or soy there are entities for whom.the market is integral to their biz. Criminals.
Tax evaders.

There no point to it all.
Ponzi gamble.

Bitcoin spurred a movement for the "people" and away from the SEC

Its success should not be judged by the obsolete industry it is attempting to replace.

Yes. I've only had one person ever ask. I told him that we are an investment firm. We are highly regulated for investor protection. Something bitcoin isn't by design



Same here. We actually issued a white paper on crypto currencies for clients who are interested, but it's clearly speculative and unregulated, and we don't dabble with anything unregulated.

Well one reason that it never really went down was that there was no real Market to sell. It was only pressure in the upward sense that people were wanting to buy and so that kept pushing it up. Once you could start doing things with Futures that put some downward pressure on it up couple of 3 weeks ago and you see what's happened since then. At least that's what I heard two elderly black women saying behind me at the 7-Eleven.

, what does bitcoin have to do with the SEC? I thought this was a central bank response?
