I think "100 bits" of bitcoin is about 4 cents.

I still think the most likely candidate is Nick Szabo. This Wright guy seems like a hoaxer who most likely planted the (easily faked) evidence himself.

i got really curious about investing in ethereum back in march but held off because, i don't know, it seemed like the kind of idiotic thing i'd regret doing later.

But if fun from the FT:
https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2017/05/22/2189145/how-to-value-bitcoin-with-a-traditional-valuation-measure/
Premise is he value of bitcoin should correlate with the global money laundering index published by the International Center for Asset Recovery. Conclusion 238% overvalued.

gonna try not to think about the fact that I could have been paid in part in BTC at my last job but opted out
― Simon H., Thursday, 7 December 2017 20:37 (six years ago) link
so part of this is due to the Tether coin, a new cryptocurrency based on the US dollar, wherein each coin is worth $1 apiece
I believe one of the Bitfinex guys invented it. essentially giving himself the license to just print millions of dollars
and yes this is all very illegal. I know someone who works in the BTC space who thinks that this dude is going to jail and everyone's going to get goxxed again. next few weeks may be interesting.
― frogbs, Thursday, 7 December 2017 20:38 (six years ago) link
btw I know everyone's feeling a lot of FOMO on this but it's kind of insane to think that someone would have bought in at like $300 and continued to hold past the $1k mark, given bitcoin's history
― frogbs, Thursday, 7 December 2017 20:40 (six years ago) link
this whole thing is so strange - BTC is accepted pretty much nowhere these days, the whole appeal is in its Ponzi-scheme like properties, where everyone thinks they're getting in at the right time
