3 out of 3! Each time Bitcoin reaches parity with Gold, it fails. Here's why!
Every time Bitcoin nears, or reaches parity with Gold, Bitcoin fails, and the price drops! 03/18/17
Consider Bitcoin when reviewing this statement by Mr. Greenspan.
Here's an excerpt from his book "Gold and Economic Freedom":

"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation.
There is no safe store of value.

If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold."

Now look at what happened with the Exchange Traded Funds deal today. Bitcoin was at $1292.00 and fell to $999.99, in an instant, upon the announcement of the rejection of the EFT deal, by the powers that be! Is the price of Bitcoin set by a conspiracy or what!?

Here is a great Bitcoin/ETF rant...

Re: 3 out of 3! Each time Bitcoin reaches parity with Gold, it fails. Here's why!
I tried to make sense of it and couldn't figure it out...Setting up a special wallet or something if I buy them...or running a complicated computer program to "mine" them... Yikes! Didn't this start as some kind of a currency in a video game? And what would I do with one once I had it? I'm probably just too old to figure it out...

3 out of 3 times, when Bitcoin neared, or reached parity with Gold, Bitcoin failed to make the leap! Consider Bitcoin when reviewing this statement by Mr. Greenspan.
Here's an excerpt from his book "Gold and Economic Freedom":

Bitcoin has perceived value by its acceptance of online markets. People pay money into bitcoin which gives it the perceived value. Bitcoin also being outside of the central banking system it isn't taxable, this is why china and japan have jumped on board over the last year leading to its dramatic rise in value. But like the stock market bitcoin can be hyper traded and so you see dramatic swings in it's value. Also as it rises people pull there profits out of bitcoin so when it gets to a high it drops as they pull their profits, then they let it rebuild. If the dollar/credit system ever dies, you won't be able to email gold or silver, so this another reason people like bitcoin it's the likely future of internet money.

Digital currency, of some type, is the future of banking. Just asking, not being rude but, do you really need to use cash in your daily life? Every business uses Credit Cards, ATM's and or checks. Like it or not, we the people are headed for a Cashless Society! Under this scenario, the banks control your digits, and they can turn you off, if you offend them. Like money, Bitcoin is real in our minds and can be traded for goods once a trade is agreed upon. Over.

By the way, the current value of Bitcoin, after this latest pull back is $18,442,807,078. The value before the pull back was well over $20 Billion Dollars. Money in a jar, or a bank account brings you nothing.

You gotta get involved! Digital currency is here to stay. The question is, are your digits making you digits or are you working harder and harder to create digits?!
