    I like the concept of crypto, but those huge bid/ask spreads aren't real, the risk is too high for big players.
    Hedge funds are buying crypto through OTC firms. And you can buy in big volume too without much price disruption.
    Big volume, how big? What hedge funds? Most legit HFs are outlawed via their LP investor agreements to invest in such instruments, not these fly by night HFs that raise 10MM from rich uncles and call themselves wall street.

    I'll agree to disagree. Don't compare this to traditional stocks. It's Forex 2.0 essentially and I know from the HK and Asia stand point there are a lot of companies with a lot of exposure to this.

    Just Google blockchain jobs and you'll be very surprised by the companies hiring.
    Agree to disagree? I was asking what risk I have on $100 in SPY. I am curious on your rationale. I don't have that much money, but I am curious what my exposure is to cryptos have zero direct exposure.

    He is an idiot. He missed the biggest bull market in history and is now calling it a scam. Who cares if it is a scam if you can profit off of trading it? Fire people for trading it? How is that any different than people trading dot com stocks in late 1999 knowing many of them were going to $0?

    Dangerous words my good man. I trust you don't mean that exactly--scams by definition are fraudulent...I can't believe you or most anyone would condone scamming

    imho what is happening with bit coin is a speculative bubble, as was the tulip bulb craze...

    but not a scam because bit coin was from its outset a highly speculative and risky investment with no guarantee that the buyer will not lose money


    okay, I've done my thought police bit, sermon is at an end, go in peace

    I don't condone scamming. What I meant to say is that if Bitcoin is a speculative bubble and ends up at $0, there is no harm in trading the swings if you can profit off of it.

    they work primarily out of bangkok. more so now that thailand is courting the yuan. they have their own operating system, its based on redhat. and they get extensive material support/training from the chinese APTs.

    I remember when Red Hat was going to save the world from Microsoft. We were young and idealistic then.

    The stock is at an ATH but thats no saying too much these days. It's not about the profit. It's about the right thing to do.
