Not only does BTC continue to trade above $10, the exchange rate increased by 3X that amount in past 24 hours. professorbitcorn.com
@polemitis The market appears to believe that the lots will sell above the market price: https://t.co/yjFAvajjbL
@petertoddbtc Sure: on a long enough timeline, the survival rate of any currency falls to zero.
@PerianneDC @oleganza I’m hoping for 4:20 PM EST
@PerianneDC @oleganza Buying 30k BTC right now would take the exchange rate over $2,000 thus a $1,800 purchase price could be a “discount.”
@PerianneDC I suspect @oleganza is looking at order book depth and slippage if one were to buy 30,000 BTC on the public markets right now.

@jameswester It’s a fledgling ecosystem at best - is there a standard for quantifying if a system is large & diverse enough to be one?
7) I trust that the community will regulate itself & implement any necessary changes, be they in the protocol or at a higher level.
6) It is for this reason that I am not concerned in issues of technical trust such as recent mining centralization fears.
5) Some people place their trust in God, or in Government, or in some other “authority.” I place my trust not in a man, but in mankind.
4) Hardcore enthusiasts are sometimes called “Bitcoin believers,” and I think this is because we trust the community.
3) However, as I have seen the Bitcoin ecosystem weather storm after storm, it is clear where my trust lies.
2) This is true in the sense that you need not trust a single entity to process transactions.
1) I originally became interested in cryptocurrency because it was touted as a “trustless system.”
