Simultaneously gold is heading below 1500 for the first time in over 2 years i think.
Dollars arent rising though just an offset of better perceived USA figures I think. Not sure what was driving bitcoin but would be funny if they ran parallel at all
I was just trying litecoin, it wont process though

Great, now engineers think that they are economists too
Far too lazy to read the article, but FWIW engineers are all about systems, modelling and optimisation. True engineers are probably better placed to comment on a financial system than (say) doctors, or lawyers, or many accountants.
In fact, many economists are so far wide of any accurate fortune-telling (~75% of actively managed funds under-perform the tracker IIRC), I wouldn't be convinced by what they had to say either.
I'd expect good historians to have a useful input though - it's not the first time we've seen such seeming irrationality.0 -

You ought to.
It will help you, in future, spot a bull5h1tter who doesn't know what he's on about.Who is the clown that wrote that?
And now "entrepeneurs" think they are economists too.
A risk taker who thinks inflation is brilliant.
What a surprise.
Replace "entrepeneurs" with gamblers
Replace economists with investors
Replace risk taker with anyone
Replace inflation with deflation
Replace What a surprise with No surprise at all
The rest is about rightLiving for tomorrow might mean that you survive the day after.

I'm not a gambler, but I would bet that it took you ages to get that post formatted just the way you wanted it.
Was it worth it?0
